1. Re: Hard drive setup
Bill Gehrke Aug 2, 2009 2:36 PM (in response to 321 rollem)I definitly would not go with a green drive. It is a much slowed down version. You should only use such a drive for completely off-line archiving.
If you have SATA ports available on the motherboard, why not investigate adding an eSATA connector or even a dual eSATA capability and rely on it for additional drives? For the price of your single 2 TB WD green drive you can get two Seagate 1.5 TB 7200 RPM drives and then instal them in external eSATA boxes or one internally.

2. Re: Hard drive setup
321 rollem Aug 2, 2009 3:32 PM (in response to Bill Gehrke)I've decided on the 1Tb FALS WD drive to start off with. Already clicked the agree to purchase button.
I've also got a good idea going for where to store my drives. I have an extra case (PC-60) that I was getting ready to cut for an h20 project ...4 months back. So, I've decided to just use it like an extnernal enclosure but an entire PC case. I also put 4 orders of a SATA internal to SATA external pci brackets to go from my editing box to my storage case. Now I just have to figure out a way to supply power to the drives and cooling fans
