Dual hard drives
I have a working car computer, its been running very well for just over 2 years. Currently I have a 320 GB hard drive in the system, and its full! I am wondering how dumb it would be to add a second hard drive into the system.
My options:
1) keep the 320 and add a 500 GB as well
2) Replace the 320 with dual 500 gb
3) Replace the 320 with a single 500 GB drive
4) be smart and leave everything as is
My thoughts are, dual drives create many more possibilities for errors in an already unstable environment.
I don't want to go with just a larger drive because, i have much more data than would fit on a single 500 GB drive
High data density drives are more likely to fail.
high density drives create more heat
Single platter drives are the most reliable and coolest
a single 750 or 1TB drive is too expensive / hot and can have up to 4 platter internally
Has anyone done anything like this? are there things that I haven't considered? Advice?
I guess 53,000 songs, 1500 tv shows and 250 movies is overkill?
