Just out of interest, how much capacity (GB) do you currently use on your hard drives and what total capacity are your hard drives? What do you use them for and how have you got them configured? (in RAID ??)
I am considering upgrading my hard drive to perhaps a solid state drive (for the main operating system) and a faster hard drive for the storage.
Doesn't it make sense to by a fast (read/write speed) hard drive with a large cache and rotation speed over capacity. Lots of people rave about 1TB and 2TB drives but there is no way I would need such a large capacity.
