Debating HDD setup...
I currently have a 250 Gb ATA HDD and I'm wondering if I should put my newly aquired 160 SATA, or if I should replace the 250 with the 160. I skeptical cuz another HDD will add more heat and take up more power. It is possible to have both though. Should I try both and see what happens? What do you guys think?
Antec 430W 2x12v 4 HDD's = 1x Sata (120Gb = XP), 3x Pata (80Gb = Vista, 2x 250Gb Stuff) 4 sticks of ddr400 Sappshire 3850 AGP 512mb vid card dvd burner P4 3.0GHz HT |

Are you putting the new SATA into the rig in your signature? What are your storage needs? What motherboard are you using?

I think it would depend on what your needs are like Kov-Ice stated. If you could use the extra storage space, then instal all of them; if not, then don't.

for sure I don't need it but it would be cool to have 5 harddrives and 800Gbs of space. In vista I get a message saying one of my 250Gb drives is failing or something, but I never have problems with it and it just has stuff I don't need on it. Maybe I'll just replace the drive with this sata drive..
