HD recommendation and RAID questions

[Nix]

I'm looking for a large SATA Hard Drive to store MP3's and movies etc. has anyone got any recommendations.

Also, is it possible to have a SATA C: drive in a normal setup and have an E: and F: drive set up in RAID configuration for storing MP3's?

To have RAID you'll need two drives so also 2 SATA ports to connect them to - how many ports does your mobo have. You could have a standard ATA drive as a main drive (C) and raid as the SATA setup - booting from ATA.

Seagate and MAxtor make decent drives - have a look at Ebuyer (www.ebuyer.com) or the likes as they have customer reviews.

Why would you want to setup a RAID pack for storing MP3's? Most people go for RAID on their system disk to improve performance of the OS also if you're planning on RAID 0 then take into account that if 1 disk packs in you lose all your data unless you have a backup.
