    750 and 160 internal, no external. The 160 is old and fails to boot sometimes, so I only plan on using it when I finally fill the 750.

    Wikipedia... truth determined by opinion.

    Yeah, wiki is interesting to read on non-important info... like anime/video-game characters... but use it for any purpose besides for fun and your pushing your luck.

    I've seen terrible things being reported as "fact" in that stupid site.

    Lots of people now have more than 120 GB. It's easier to afford nowadays.

    it's not the fact that it's free but the fact that anyone can add and edit and etc.. and you don't have to have any merit, just sources. those sources can be manipulated, mislead and whatever and the information that is placed in wiki is wrong. in addition, it's coming from people who may or may not have merit. those information maybe coming from a person who really likes something and all they will do is talk about the good thing and bash things that maybe relevent.

    they're getting cheaper. you can get an external western digital my essential 1tb hard drive for 207 with shipping included. you can get it at clubit but it's on back order due to the high demand for it. at 207, it's about 20 cents a gig.

    2x 120, 2x 73, 1x 300, 3x 500. The 120s are in a mirrored array so effectively only one is usable. Total capacity is over 2TB

    isn't that bad?? if suppose each drive uses 15 watts and you have 8 drives that total 2tb, that would use 120 watts as suppose to having two 1tb drive that uses only 30 watts. that is a 90watt savings. i don't know if that is much but at least it's a saving.

    maybe it isnt as good from the energy efficiency point of view, but it is much better for performance to have multiple drives.

    I read about these things called Solid-State Drives; they use less power than a conventional hard disk drive.
