SATA questions

I just purchased

(1) 120gb Seagate SATA hard drive
and
(1) WD Raptor 37GB 10k SATA hard drive

What i'm wondering is should I have boughten both WD? Would 2 WD's work better together? I got the Seagate becuase the seek time was lower so I figured that was more important

WHAT?

The seek times are lower on the Seagate? Hmm...... ok...

Anyways, no your setup is perfectly fine. Just put your OS, games, and things you need to be loaded quickly on the Raptor, and everything else on the Seagate.
