I need more space and I was wondering if it's better to get 2 500Gb HDD or one 1TB one, The single is $155 and 2 500s are $186. BIG price diff, and i need money also for new PSU. So yeah better with 2 or one?

Maz...my old Chum......

Have you thought how long it would take to Defrag a busy 1 TB Hard Drive...... ... ... ...!

I would have thought just one, single, 500 GB Hard Drive would be more than enough for average use!

...and save you lots of money!... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

mmmmhmmm Well, I could  :D Saves some moneys 8-)

And yet, my 50Gb left is going away fast!

But i can just De-frag when I'm at school!

Maz...

The thing I would be aware of...

My AMD/Win XP Pro system restricts me to recognise only a 128 GB Hard drive!

Any more, and I have to Partition it into separate areas!

My 256 GB HDD needs partitioning into 2X 128 GB sections!

I agree with Fozz... and imagine also, if the worst should happen, and you have a TB of stuff in a single HD  :o

if you had 2, you'd only lose half your stuff  ::) ...plus you could arrange for one drive to carry the programs, and the other for important, irretrievable stuff

Cheers

You will optimize your performance by running FSX on its own drive and your OS on the other. My vote would be the 2 500's
