160 Gb Hard Disk

And it does not help that impotent "data" i.e. digital pictures, suck up 1 GB in no time

You don't live in Mumbai.

Difficult to find good prices here

I am myself gonna buy a 160 but was wondering whether to wait for a while and go for 320 itself

so u would risk losing that much data in one go?

 

[netfreak]

Next motherboard that I will buy for my PC will have RAID-1I plan to attach two big HDDs to that board.That ways even if one HDDs gets fried, data will be safe.

 

[Sushubh]

that's the way to go. till the time we get decent speeds on the net. i hate having backups on my desktop. i plan to burn my computer someday.

 

[krishnan]

loose in what sense? U mean crashing?

yeah... 2 160 gig hard disks are a safer bet than 320 gig. and the deal might be cheaper at this given time

 

[netfreak]

This safety comes at a cost Two 160 GB HDDs will give you only 160 GB GB with RAID 1

320 GB costs 4900 oddThe only file that is important to me in my comp is my resume , and i have that in my 4-5 email ids and backed up in CD's and USB Pen DriveOthers are songs and movies. Not much important.

so u dont even need to buy extra hard disks problem solved. i have a total of 260 gigs. have around 40 gigs free. can delete around 120 gigs without any reason. data is lying there. just need the delete key.
