Figured i'd ask you folks about this stuff....
Right now, i have 30gb and 20gb, both 7200rpm both ~1yr old. Basically, i want to put my 20gb in my older pc to have a small home network (and, no one will use my pc...finally :))...Doing this will leave my with my primary 30gb. Now, i am wondering which would be the best scenario:
Sell the 30gb, get a nice big 80gb; concern is...should i have everything on ONE drive? or is backup better w/2 drives?
keep the 30gb, get a nice large 60gb, use the 60gb for back up...ie i'll have ~90gb versus 80gb, but the 2nd hd is more heat that i don't want
if getting the 60gb, should i opt for the 5400rpm one? it's gonna be used mainly for backup, and the 30gb will be for apps, etc
thanx a ton for any input, as i'm kinda stuck on this!
