Too much HDD space?

chevytrucknut · Jan 21, 2006

Is it possible to have too much HDD space?

I want to put 3 x 300GB SATA (WD Caviar)

and I already have 1 x 120GB IDE (Barracuda)

Will that work?

it'll work. Windows recognizes some odd number of terrabytes, so you shouldn't have any problems.

It will work provided your case can fit that many HDs but I doubt you will need the space.

you should put those 3 hdd's into a raid 5 set up that would be sweet

lol, i just realized what i did - I meant to type 2 x 300GB, but now I don't think I'll need that much...

3x300gb +120gb sounded like alot and it made me jealous
