Hi all,
All my 4 IDE drive channels are in use:
- 1 DVD-RW
- 1 CD
- 1 HD for GNU/Linux (160GB)
- 1 HD for Win-dose (120GB)
Now I need to expand such a configuration with at least 2 HDs:
- 1 HD for multimedia contents: sound and video recordings (fast RW and
capable memory, say 150/200GB);
- 1 HD for GNU/Linux backup: scheduled (automatic) backup unit (160GB);
- (further possible future requirements).
As I have no field experience that could let me make the right choice
(extended IDE card + internal drives? external storage units?), I'd like
to hear your wise opinion.
Many thanks.
First, a question - why do you need a DVD-RW and a CD? Why not consolicate
to one unit?
Another option would be an external USB or Firewire for the backups.
