The reason i have a Terabyte of hard drive space is so that i can say i have a terabyte of hard drive space :) anyway im getting a 400 gb hard drive for just copying movies (i copy everymovie that is ever released on tuesdays) and so i can take it with me with an incloser with no issues. i plan on making both 300gb put in a RAID. This will be my first self build project with computers so i did a ton of research. the only thing i am doing alot of research now is on OCing because i have no clue how to do that. ive seen reports of the x2 3800 beating the stock x2 4800 with an OCing of 2.5, so thats my goal..... i dont want to push past that.

thanks for all your input

mike
btw, on an off-topic but curious question, what's your current location? I happen to know a guy by your name whom I told about this forum.....like I said, I have a curious nature. This guy I work with as a matter of fact.....

opinions on this one, Ken?
Cool, even has a fan to keep the drive cool.....
Mine doesn't come with a fan, but I don't have it connected 24/7
The make doesn't matter much aslong as it's robust....
Laptop drives are cool aswell for external drives...
i have that exact encloser. I got it in a frys special. It runs great and is easy to use!! It is an excellent buy
