I am about to install the drives on my new build. Scrounging around my various old boxes I have come up with a few but am now trying to allocate them for use. I also have a Dell XPS 200 that I want to use for surfing and home control, like a weather station recorder and x-10 lights etc. So it will get one drive (doesn't support any more than one)
Here is what I have to play with
SATA drives
Seagate 1Tb 7200.12 drive (new)
WD 320 gig (6mo old)
WD 320 gig (1 year old)
WD 80 gig (came with dell in 2006)
On one hand I was thinking of putting the 80 in the dell since it wount be a main data system, I could even set it up dual boot win/linux
For the main new box I could partition the 320's into an OS partition and a app/game/data drive and then mirror them. I have an external SATA enclosure I could stick the 1T in and shuttle it around as a master data library. THe only thing with it is its USB connection.
What ideas y'all have?
