How many HD's (size, ssd or not) do you have on your home system?
Currently have a 120SSD for windows, and 2 1tb drives. They are not Sata 6.0, but 3.0). Thinking of just buying a Sata 6.0 2TB, partition it, and be done with it. |

Personally, my primary rig has 4X corsair ssd's all feed a areca 1213-4i raid card in a raid 0 configuration.
If you do get a single 2tb drive, use your 2 1tb dries as backup storage. Put all files/music/video's.. on them and then remove them from the computer-when it is off-and wrap them in soft towels to protect them until they are needed. |

I need to get either some external cases or a NAS of some kind because I have more drives than bays and ports at the moment.
As it stands: 160GB OCZ Vertex 2 - system drive 750GB Seagate FreeAgent Pro via eSATA - storage 2TB Seagate - storage 1TB WD Black - Steam games only pretty much 1.5TB Samsung - storage 1TB WD Black - storage 2TB Seagate - storage 60GB OCZ Vertex Plus - srcds And in a box waiting to be used: 500GB Seagate Momentus XT - backup laptop drive at the moment 160GB Fujitsu laptop drive - a really old laptop image but I honestly can't think of much use for it given the tiny size 250GB Seagate Momentus - original drive to the laptop 500GB Seagate 7200.11 - Linux distros and Windows install disc ISO backups 1TB Seagate 7200.11 - storage waiting to be installed 750GB Seagate 7200.10 - storage waiting to be installed Ideally, I'd like a proper server box for most of these. But, as it stands, it would be just fine to have them in external boxes on the main machine as it really is a shame to not be using them. |

Very simple setup for me, 1TB caviar black for the os, programs and games. One 1TB for movies and another 2TB for tv and documentaries. Use external hdds for backup and they're not switched on unless needed for backup and restore.

I have another drive stashed away with the backup of my old doc's drive, but I can't unpack it all until I replace the raptor. |
