I have 320GB and 1TB internal drives and a 750GB external drive. The internals are set up as RAID 0. What is the best way for me to use the external drive? Should I store my programs on the 320, my data on the 1 and back everything up on the 750? I'm not very tech savvy, but a quick student.

Just how much are you RAIDing? All the 320, and 320 off the 1TB?
Is the external one you did yourself, or is it a mybook (or whatever)?

What OS are you using, and what is the main purpose of the machine?

And I hope you have multiple backup plans, in case the 750 goes belly up.

what is the model number of each drive?

use them seperately! raid is pretty stupid imo, and i've used all for long periods of time.

use the faster internal drive for the OS and Apps
use the other for media files
use the external for BACKUP! of all media and other things like porn
