Too big for a system drive?

I'm currently in the process of upgrading my HDDs and have come to a dilemma. I've just purchased a couple of 750GB drives to replace a single WD 500GB drive for storage which is now redundant. However I could use it to replace a Seagate 250GB 7200.10 as my system drive (with the notorious seek noise), is 500GB a little OTT for this purpose?

not at all, my system drive is a 500GB Seagate

if you are happy with the 500GB drive in your pc, just partition it to a sutable size

Yeh that settles it, I'll get rid of the 250GB and probably split the 500GB into 2 partions

Thanks guys!

What about using the 750GB drives as a windows drive? Especially if its faster than the 500GB!

I use a F1 750GB as my main drive, it has two 25GB partitions, one has XP installed and the other has Vista installed, the rest is in two partitions for games and rest.
