This topic was in danger of dying as it was quickly dropping down the list! So I thought I would get it going again with a nice little announcement that I've just made some new HD purchases.

The old ATA drive in my main system has been throwing up the odd read error in the last couple of months so I thought it time to replace it.

So I've just ordered 2 500GB Seagata SATA drives that should be arriving tomorrow. And while ordering them I noticed the 500GB external Lacie drives have dropped in price too and were actually only £2 more than the internal drives! So I ordered one of those too.

So once these arrive I will be altering the main system setup so it has a 300GB SATA boot drive (another drive I already have), plus the 2 new 500GB SATA drives for data. And I will be using the external 500GB HD for backup purposes for data I change regularly and don't want to keep wasting new black DVDs for each month to keep creating new backups. This will be for things like my MP3 collection and MAME set.
