At the moment I have a Lian-Li V1000B+ with one of the drive bays removed (got an enermax galaxy). I have one 250gb drive (OS) and two 320 storage drives. I'm getting low on space with both drives. I'm really unsure about how I should increase my storage:

1) Burn it all to DVD/DL.

2) Buy two bigger hard drives and replace the 320 drives.

3) Buy a new case (so I'll have room) and add more drives later (probably raided).

4) Buy a Western Digital 1TB external drive.
 
Id be tempted to buy a new case and add more, because no doubt youre going to want to back up some of that data as well(!).

Although more drives is going to increase the chance of one of them failing. If you have data that can be archived then I would burn it to disc to free up some HD space.
 
I was thinking the same...

I may get the TJ09 and save for some hard drives. Stick 'em in raid and bob's your uncle.

Replace you internal drives with these 500GB 16MB cache drives, and use the 'free' caddies for your old drives. Attach them as USB drives to an old PC perhaps running as network storage.

Anyway, that's what I would do.

That's a good idea but the older pc's probably have USB 1.0 or some slower USB version. That can't be to nice, network lag + slower USB speeds :S
