hard drive

[tracymort]

we have tonnes of music on our pc (not that much downloaded..honest. we have 2 little scamps so we have all our cds in the loft and use the pc through our amp etc) and have heard we could get another hard drive to put the music on. i've looked about but don't really understand what the rpm bit is about? also in your opinion would another hard drive be the way to go?

RPM isn't that important if the hard drive is only being used for music files.....don't bother going for a 7,200 save money and go for a larger capacity 5,400 instead.......and yeah if your looking to declutter then another internal hard drive is a great option for storing loads more music.

What operating system are you using? As your drive may not be able to be seen correctly by the operating system or the BIOS therefore loosing you all the GB's (although depends on the size of drive you getting)
