OTOH, if files on the HD are only accessed infrequently and the disk is spun down the rest of the time, this could reduce power use, heat and noise, and isn't any more complicated than, say, having two hard drives. We are now in the days of being able to make a complete OS install onto a flashcard which costs less than the cheapest hard drive. > Or, if possible, a RAID array (which is fast, not too expensive > if you actually use the I, and more reliable than any single disk). "more reliable than any single disk" - not always.
