[QUOTE="giantjoebot, post: 153320, member: 26289"] Thats sort of how I have it setup on my media server as it is right now, sort off. The OS, music, and pictures are on the same drive. I also have it setup so that my bittorrent files download on the OS drive and then transfer to a large span of drives. I do have a 40GB 4200rpm laptop drive in an external USB enclosure that I guess that I could use. It would be really easy to mount it inside the case, and connect it directly to the USB headers on the motherboard. There are a couple of spots where I could fit another drive, but they are in places such as the floppy drive bay where the drive would be enclosed on all sides but one, and no fans blowing on it. I also have a 40GB maxtor that runs really hot, and a 80GB maxtor extra right now. I guess if I put one of those in the floppy bay, and got a USB to IDE adapter or a IDE to SATA adapter that would work, but I'm worried that the drive would fail due to heat. [/QUOTE]
