Hello all,
Moore's law seems to work in reverse,,, the more HD space I add, the
more space I need for backup. I've just received my new Western
Digital 2 tb "Green" drive and am impressed with it's size and weight
and not just a little concerned about overtaxing my legacy machine's
power supply. I also plan to upgrade my AGP OEM video card as I took
a minor performance hit with the 22" Dell monitor.
Will I be OK as far as the OEM power supply goes, and if not, would
removing the 2 ATA drives help? Seems like just yesterday when I
thought I would never need more space than those 2 combined.
Any thoughts appreciated as well as ideas on partitioning schemes.
The 1 Tb SATA is my boot drive and has only 1 partition, which I've
regretted occasionally.
Thanks,
