Title: A new whole HDD
Post by: Noalear on May 12, 2006 09:38 am CDT

Okay. I will finally accept that 70GB is not enough space for todays computer. Time to upgrade. Reccomend some crap for me. And I have no plans to touch RAID anytime soon. 1 HDD. 200<500GB. 7200RPM minimum. ATA100 I think.

Already told you.  Get a Hitachi T7K250 off of ZZF.

I just ordered a 960gb raid5 setup for my file server.  Media like tv shows and dreamcast isos can really use up the space fast.

You aren't lying.  I'm going to replace this 600GB RAID-5 with a 1600GB one soon.

I want more HDD's to load more OS's.  I dont like running multiple OS's on one HDD.

No nolear, I run Ubuntu 6.06 beta on my main disk, XP on the other drive (identical).  I want to hop into BSD or SkyOS next, yet dont wish to make it some space on my drives.  A personal problem, yes, but thats how I operate.

Do you hot swap drives or something?

Get Live OS CD's and an external USB drive.  It's a lot cheaper. ('specially the 'nix's)

Thats not practical enough for me, slorge.  I prefer internal hard drives.  Externals and thumbdrives are only for backup for me.

*edid*
And as far as hot swapping goes... uhh... last time I did that the power went out in a portion of my home.  Had to reset the breaker.
