Movies on secondary HDD help!

Forum Storage : General Discussion Movies on secondary HDD help!

I have three HDD's in my PC and one of them is going to be just for movies...

My question is, I want to know if installing the movie players such VLC player, Media Player ect on the same HDD as the movies would be any different to if the movie player I use are installed on another drive in my system. I ask this as I am wondering if it would make any difference efficiency/speed wise?

One of many noob questions you will be getting from me over now I am a member :)

the player gets loaded entirely into ram as they are quite small programs and its easiest for the program to work this way(with exception of a few menu options). so it doesn't even use the hard drive once its loaded and therefor wont matter which drive its on.
