I have thought of this, but my DELL has only 3 hard drive bays and they are already full. I have 2 x 200 Gb + 1 x 160 Gb drives in there already. The PC has been incrementally enlarged with storage over the years and now I cannot add anything any longer.... There are a whole lot of virtual computers in there and each uses up 3-4 GigaBytes of file storage, and then I have my video files that clock in at 5-20 Gb each... Each partitioned drive has about the same free space (14 Gb or less). Oh, well I guess I have to get a SATA drive of 1-2 Tb and reconfigure everything inside next. And the money is not an issue, $39 does not get you very far these days with current food prices etc. It is just noise.
