FYI guys, I just got a free laptop donation from school. It has 11 GB of hard drive space at 4200 RPM...Sucks, but free, so I'm not complaining.

Re: Curiosity: How many harddrives do you have?

Well, on my main development / music machine:

- 5x 300gb WD HDD on a NetCell SR5103 in a Raid-5 configuration (Music)
- 2x 500gb on-board Raid-1+0 Seagates (Development / VM's)
- 1x 300gb WD HDD (OS)

I use the raid-5 array for all of my music mostly. I used to be a DJ and have a TON of music. Once a decent SATA raid-5 controller came out that wasn't the cost of a small child, I pounced on it. I got tired of having hundreds of DVD's, CD's, and music on 20 different hard drives. Worth biting the bullet - and the added bonus of the safety net with a HDD crash is a nice benefit.

The mirror is for my development files and virtual machines. The drives finally came down to a reasonable price and made it nice to have all the VM's in a single location.

Other than that, pretty routine config.

I have 5 Western Digital 120 gig SE drives and 1 Western Digital 500 gig SATA drive in the same machine.

Re: Curiosity: How many harddrives do you have?

I've been wondering... Is it time to move beyond SATA I and SATA II and onto one of those newer hard drives?

By the way I'm a video gamer. Does that change anything?

Re: Curiosity: How many harddrives do you have?

What do you mean "newer hard drives"? I was under the impression most HDDs are either IDE or SATA, with server HDDs mostly being SCSI. Is there a new interface?

I'd say the "newest" ones I can think of are the solid state ones, but they continue to use PATA or SATA interfaces.
