I currently have two 80GB SATA hard-drives, a samsung and Western Digital (I think). I use one drive as my main operating drive, containing my programs etc, and the other drive as more of a filestore (music, videos, game demos etc etc)
80GB isn't much by todays requirements, and I am going to need more room pretty soon. I'm also 'concerned' about the (normal)noise that these hard-drives are creating, which I would like to reduce if possible ...I guess one way would be to have just a single drive. I could get a very large single drive and partition it, but I'll lose everything if it fails (I relaise I also would now with my current setup).

So I'm wondering what a good option would be, considering that I need more room, am happy to get a new drive, but I'm also interested in reducing noise.

I know it's quite an open question, and appreciate all comments :)
 
Yeah I could do.

Ah the other thing I was thinking about was maybe a NAS drive as my secondary drive, and try to get it as far away from me as possible. But for some reason I am under the impression that they can be a bit loud, anyone ?
