SDSUMarcus01 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2004 Zero, I have 1 80gb harddrive, I need all the space on it... I had multiple harddrives at one point, but I rarely used the extra HDs... and since I'm not running a server, there was no point, so I just used the extra HDs to build some extra comps.

WD120 with the 8MB buffer!!! http://www.dictionary.com/browse/partitionNo, because a partition would imply division. I'm old school, I don't consider it a partition unless there are more than one. I'm just used to the days where you need to have partition magic to create partitions rather than doing it through the windows install disk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thunder 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2004 I have 3 partitions one 80gb second 40gb third 120gb. Plus if you need to reinstall an OS it does not ruin ur data from the same drive that has a partition... It is split so u just delete one side and reinstall from there.

Shackman 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2004 I have 2 hard disks. 1 40 GB and another form my old computer, 3.4 GB.By the way, how do you even attach 5 hard disks? I thought the maximum is 2? Of course, exteral hard drives are another thing but for internal ones there can only be master and slave.Unless, you can have more than 1 slave?Please tell me aobut it. My HDD is barely holding out...I need to add a new HDD...! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Impact 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2004 SATA and Raid allow you to hook up more than 2 easily. Though it depends if your motherboard supports it other wise you need to get a special card for it. Also you can get specialized hard disks for it, but you can also use ide's with a converter.
