you could get a raid card

I was definitely thinking of that too. Some cheap one's are on ebay for about £20!

Why 2 1TB drives?

 

Why not 2TB ones instead? they are £10 - £15 more.

Could always get a raid card and in my case i only have 4 hdd slots anyway. :P

But i'm modding an old dell poweredge 1600sc case at the moment. :)
