doesn't like WD for some reason. I had a small old used WD HD die but it was from the pleistocene and I was running it on a linux router , i.e. 24/7 so I don't feel TOO bad about it.

This new drive sounds yummy especially if you diy.

:) Thanks for all the stuff about the tools.

A lot of us still use FAT32 (Reply to this comment)

Nice write up.

"I always like to split a drive into about a 30/70 ratio, 30% for storage and 70% for normal use."

Are you running XP or Windows 2000 with this drive?



(I still use FAT32), So I'd also mention that FAT 32 is limited to a maximum partition size of 32 mb. Now that 80gb, 100gb and 200gb drives are common, its worth reminding people of the volume limits with FAT32.
