storage

For those of you willing to leave a pc on all the time and interested in
performance I thought you might be interested in what I did.  I was tired
of dealing with running out of space and dealing with opening up the hardware
so I finally bought a Lacie 500 gig firewire external drive for $400 and
a card for $55.>

Plugged it in, formatted, (which took a long time) dragged my music folder
to the new drive, reshared the music folder, and was done.  The copy went
at a rate of about 1gig a minute. Now using wav files, makeing backups,
or adding more drives is trivial.
