I tend to store all of my media on my E:\ drive, mp3, videos, etc. But in the past I've also used it as a backup drive. C and D are on sata connectors, and E is on an ide raid connector with the same controller as the sata drives. Now I'm on my 3rd drive in that position in less than 1 year. The one I'm transfering data from now is a WD 3000 (300gigs). HALP
