QUOTE(Retaining @ Sep 7 2005, 06:55 PM) I think you have too many drives when you can't remember where you put stuff... Amen.  I have too many drives then. I have five or six systems and most of which I swap drives on depending on what I want to do on that particular day. I usually put alot of my web work on one or movies and games on another, then there is one housing my tunes. I have a larger one that does alot of all of that though, being the constant pack rat that I am I like backups. Now being into the mod thing I find I have seperate hard drives for my gaming platforms as well. I am going to have to start using stickers to identify stuff.

I only have the two drives in my main system, but we're in the process of building a storgae server type abomination that will likely have about 4-5 drives once we find ways to attach them all.... currently theres two in there but its a normal old school case so if we add more we'll need to get out the ol originality

I have 2 HDD
120 GB (ReiserFS, XFS, NTFS, 3 partitions) [Linux, Windows) 80 GB (FAT32, 1 partition) (Bridge Drive) I don't think there's such thing as "too many" hard discs in the computer. xboxrulz |

I, myself, have only two in my case, of which one is not connected at all
The connected one is 40GB, which is really not enough for me, so I'll probably get a 200GB one.But check this out. My ISP has a local dc++ hub and one of the operators in that hub has a GIGANTIC share - 1.3TB! Yes, you read well, 1.3 TB!!! He has a lot of HDs connected and also has a shelf with hard drives  Here's a pic of his cases http://elitehub.us/forum/images/userimages/comp.jpg |
