Lets see here's my current config.

XP1700
512mb DDR266
Aopen AK77-333
Adaptec 29160N PCI

Right now i have this for my hard disk setup

6.4gb 5,400rpm ATA33 "Back-up Disk, Important TxT files, back-up Win2k files"
2.3gb's Free
-----------------------
40gb 7,200rpm ATA100 "Storage and lite apps"
5gb's Free
-----------------------
9.1gb 10,000rpm Ultra160 "Windows Drive, important App's"
2.1gb's Free
-----------

Now as you notice that 7gb's is free that i can use. I've tried to clean my Comp out but my 3d studio max files take a huge chunk and my MP3's are on CD's :-\. Well i guess its time for me to decide my Next disk will be 70-80 gb's big. I need to it too be the fastest possible. I got a couple months to save. With my Money problems Serial ATA will be out and Scsi 160 will still be here.

Here's my Choices:
A) 2x Scsi Route "No Raid supported on card"
2x 36gb Seagate 15k ultra160

B) S.ATA Route
2x 80gb S.ATA Raid 0

C) ATA133 Route
2x 120gb 7200rpm ATA133 2mb+ buffer

Whats my best choice ^-^
