I have 2 PC's

MediaCentre

Intel E7200 @3.2ghz
4 gig RAM
2xSamsung F1 1Tb HDD
Radeon 4650
Case can only hold 2 HDDs
Work PC

AMD PhenomII x4 @3.2ghz
2 gig Ram
WD Raptor 74Gb HDD
Seagate 7200.10 500gb HDD
Radeon x800xl

I also have 1 WD Green 1.5Tb HDD

Im having to reinstall windows 7 onto my media Centre because its the beta which expires in a few days.

I have the chance to change things about. Should I...

1. Take out both my samsungs out of my media centre and raid them on my work PC and use my Segate as bootdrive and WD Green as data. Swap ram so workpc has 4 gig.

2. Take out both my samsungs out of my media centre and raid them on my work PC and only use the WD Green to save energy

3. Take out one of my samsungs (storage drive) and repalce with WD Green on my media centre. Put spare samsung on work PC

4. Any other combo?
 
Option 1 + get another 2Gb of same or similiar latency RAM for your work PC

I have a WD 1TB green drive in my Q6700 (media editing) for data storage and seperate smaller HDD(s) for OS boot + programs
