HDD config (boot vs. storage) for new backup rig
Here's the deal, folks. I'm building a new computer, and one of its purposes is data backup. As such, I have quite a bit of hard drive space (one 160 GB and one 80 GB drive) in the new rig. My main rig also has about 45 GB for data storage.
I will dedicate about 25 - 50 GB (on each of two different drives) for non-music storage. I'm not yet sure how much space my music will take up. I will guess 20 to 100 GB. Pretty precise guess, eh? ![]() SUMMARY Do any of you have ideas about how I should arrange these things: OS/apps: 25 GB, must be on [drive 1] or [2] Page file: 2 GB, must be on [1] or [2] Data storage: 50 GB, must be in two places - [1 or 2] and [3] Music storage: 20 to 100 GB, total wildcard, may be on one drive or two, huge size range, feel free to make suggestions and view my music storage thread in the multimedia forum on these drives: Drive 1: 80GB WD800JB in new rig (fast, unknown if FDB or not) Drive 2: 160GB SP1614C in new rig (fast, very quiet) Drive 3: 45 GB remaining on 6Y160M0 in main rig (slowest and loudest) |
