Are you saying you just use one drive to back up the other?
Got two sammy sp2504 here as well,fast and quiet
nah, i have two of them, the d:\ drive is mainly my games drive and i just copy my files into my backup folders.
no i was going to have a separate drive to backup my important info like uni work.
but i will just burn a dvd-r of my work every month or so as a back up
samsung's it is
That makes some sense, but mostly when people have this split setup they go for a faster drive for Windows and a bigger drive for the data. I did that sometimes in my SCSI days. I guess that easy backup is worth something.
yea, i had my old hd's in here and was wondering if i should raid etc but they are ide and it adds too much cabling into the case. anyway these sp2504c's have a faster transfer rate which is nice. i was getting 70mb/s average read.
Why not just RAID two 250GB drives for better performance and then use a small external for backup?

i suppose i could,
but i heard that performance isnt THAT much better...
plus it will cost a bit more.
im jus a poor student..lol
true, i raided my ones and i got 90mb/s avg read, when one of the drives got 70mb/s avg read. although it might be because i have them on sata150 but they never reach the limit anyway.i suppose i could,

If you want a very fast Apps drive separate to your back-ups:

I like it alot
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.
That's the one you pay extra money to have the insides on display. Not a very scientific choice...
We are all aware of the fact that the Raptor knocks a second or two off loading times, but it costs more than twice as much as either of the solutions being looked at here on its own. By the time you add the extra real estate it's more than three times the cost. And the backup potential is very limited too.
