thats pathetic...........

get this one

thats over 3 times as big

[tesco]

go for the second one for sure.

if u want 1 tb, wouldn't it be cheaper to get 4 250gbs? cheaper than $1000 thats for sure

[Storm]

first off all, its 1.6 TB

2nd: you'll prolly have to upgrade your PSU

3rd: you'll need to switch to a hightower if you want to fit everything in.....

4th: get extra cooling

5thh, and what if you want to take some of those uncompressed movies* somewere else???

6th (and prolly most important): what will give you more bragging rights? six 250GB disks, or one LaCie disk?






















*you're not telling me you NEED 1.6 TB for all those MP3's you listen to......... thats 9 months of non-stop music..........

My case can fit 5 hard drive...7 if u count the floppy drive bay as hard drive spots (it works, i have no floppy drives )

Yes you would need really good cooling for that, the middle ones would get no cooling at all and probably over heat

Real problem would be trying to hok up 6 ide devices. Guess you could buy 3 controller cards or something.

No. You would only need one controller card. You can run 4 drives on it and 2 on your motherboard.
