Alright, now that we know that the physical outside of the disk (or the "start" as the computer sees it") is actually read faster, does anyone want to take a guess at what that means for you speed-wise? Well just in case, it means that partitions containing data which you would ideally prefer to give access-speed preference to (ie. swap and page file partitions) should be placed at the "start" of the disk for best performance.
This is independent of RAID, so does this mean that all first partitions will be faster than the later ones?

If I make two 75GB partitions, will the first one be faster because it's on the outer half of the disk?
