Help! What do I do with all these hard drives?
Hey all.
I'm building a new Windows 7 computer. (You can see my profile for the stats.)
Anyway, I have 8 x 2TB Seagate HDD (internal) and 3 x 2TB Seagate HDD (external) and am wondering how to maximize their use.
No, it isn't a server. I'm just a digital packrat and I'm heavy into the oldgames scene, so I need backward compatibility for all my old games. Should I dual-boot XP or just use Virtual?
Admittedly, most will be for data storage. Any ideas? Assembling hardware is easy. I just don't know how to optimize so if I install, everything is still on default settings. Can't figure out page files, etc. Still reading through the tutorials... ^_^
Anyway...
