I'm about to purchase a new system, but I have old HDD's that I'd like to use in my new system and keeping one in the old system (80GB).
I have a 320GB EIDE from the old and was thinking about putting in the new system and using it for Win7 and programs, but I feel I'd be shooting myself in the foot by not having a SATA.
I'm trying to put together a sensible configuration, so any advice from the community is appreciated;
New, 1TB: Data only
New, ~500GB: Win7 and Programs
Old, 320GB EIDE: Backup
OR
New, 500GB-1TB: Data only
New, 500GB-1TB: Backup
New, ~320GB: Win7 and Programs
Old, 320GB EIDE: Spare drive?
Thoughts? Anyone have a better idea or setup?
