I usually never upgrade hard drives, I just add more. When I run out of room in the case, thasts when I start updrading the drives themselves.
Right now I am running one WD Raptor 76 gig 10,000 RPM drive for my linux and windows installs, and 4 seperate 400 gig drives for storage, so I got a while before I will need to updrade them. |

I just add another hard drive. I have so much space that I'll never run out. Just there if I need it :)

I've never upgraded a drive for space reason, as i'm not a pack rat, but I'll upgrade every 3 +- years for speed reasons.

+1 for me
-1 for me Once you go digital video, it just eats up the space...even with some fair compression. I just redid the drives in the Home Theater PC...from 620GB to 950GB. Even then it's dumping off to one of the few TB+ boxes. |

Preach it brother....I've had my OS installs on the old small (60-80 gb) drives for the past couple years, with addtional SATA or IDE drives attached. Now I've gotten curious about both NAS and SAN so I just bought two more 300 gb drives cause they were on sale and had the larger 16mb cache. So I THINK I now have 620 gb resident in the machine, with 1 Tb of attached storage. Now I'm thinking I might just take the leftover 4 drives and convert to external SATA for a JBOD of 340 Gb....<sigh> I can't resist tinkering, even though I usually make tons of errors since my curiosity is only matched by my ignorance...  Has anyone used one of SI's new sata Port Multipliers yet?
