Recently one of my hardrives have just started making a dodgy noise. Making me panic about backing up all of my data on it. Ive been looking at hardrives and have two options on my list.
Option 1:
one 750Gb harddrive priced at £305. i would use this one in my pc and keep the other hardrives as backups. meaning less space with better air flow and less power consumption and heat.
option 2:
three 320Gb hardrives at £70 each. The main arguement for these is i would save £85 and still have an extra 210Gb on top of the 750Gb but that means having an extra 3 harddrives already on top of the 6 i have just kicking around the place. plus if the 750Gb was to go up the pan thats alot of data to go with it. and the 300Gb ones i could put into RAID 0 or 1
i think its an argument between more convience of one harddrive with less physical space and clutter in my case or less money with more vitual space to store more data. i dont know which to go for and would like to know what people think.
