I'm not a fan of these larger drives - larger drives means more platters, more closely spaced together, which means heat and friction become major issues. Hard drive quality started nosediving seriously when drives got larger than 80gb.

This reminds me that I need to pull my WD 500GB drive that's faulty (and pretty much has been since a week after I bought it, about a year ago rofl, gee I'm lazy!!!) out of my raid 1 setup...Still leaves me with plenty of room ;-)
