Does it really matter? Yes; because of variable-geometry disks, the "cylinders" at the front contain more data and are thus faster. Since I'm going to be spending most of my time in Linux, I want that to be in the fast place. % % Linux can live anywhere, but windows can't: that's the way it is, % unfortunately.
