    i want to get more HDDs. 1 more raptor for RAID 0, and replace my 60Gb WD w/a 200Gb SATA drive. IDE cables are just so bulky now adays.

    One 200 is my main. I like having lots of games installed.
    The other 200 contains my MP3 library. 'Nuff said.
    The 60 contains patches, updates, utilities and drivers. We've ALWAYS had a minimum of two harddrives in a system. It makes formatting the main much easier.

    I have a computer with two 180s in a zero configuration, but with that setup, little did I know it would be difficult to use Norton Ghost for backups (or other software). Most have a limit of 150 GB....

    So I went out and bought a 180 GB external and hooked it up, and use that for backups.

    Wish these backup programs would catch up with the times and create software for larger hard drives.

    A 200 gig, 60 gig, and soon to be added another 200 gig. The 60 gig will go into a hd case w/ usb 2.0 hookup for backups. As far as the question of of why so much space, I've ripped most of my cd collection, backed up my movies, and recently started to convert my aging vhs collection to dvd. This all takes space, never say blank amount is enough. I've found I can always find use for a little more. Oh yeah, 500 posts after all these years.
