Re: How do you add another hard drive?

Why do you think so?

It's hard to believe how cheap hard drives are nowadays, but my
experience is that they are about as reliable as the older ones; e.g.,
I bought two very cheap (EUR 55) 40GB drives 3.5 years ago, and both
of them are still ok.

Concerning the bad ones, we had some in the old days (Micropolis), and
some more recently (Maxtor).

But, the times they are a'changin'. Most probably, when I upgrade my
OS, I'll switch to 8G + 4G Fireball combo. 12G, man, can you imagine?
:) Solid disks, those Fireball!

I had a Fireball CR 8.4A (8GB), from 1999 or earlier. After replacing
it with a bigger disk, I gave it to a friend. Recently it went bad.
