I see a lot of good advice on this site, thanks to all. this sit is now in my favorites.
Objective #1: When my windows OS crashes, or I upgrade, I do not want to have to reload all my programs, ie Adobe cs3, office 2007 etc.
Objective #2: System speed is very important.
Objective #3: Frugality is not that important to me, time and the elimination of stress is.
My theroy: drive #1 small fast SAS hard drive for the windows OS, and maybe temporary files too.
drive #2, medium sized and fast SAS, for all of my programs, ie Adobe, office, etc
drive #3, Very large hard drive, SATA 300 Back up for all of my stuff, videos, music, projects, etc.
What do you think? I am sick of having to reload all of my programs because of an OS failure, or because of a computer part upgrade which causes windows to crash. this has happened to me several times over the last 15yrs. I dread the words, "we need to wipe your hard drive" aaarrrgggg%$#*(%#$@.
