more detailed questions about my current machine are in this thread
http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=216232
I have PC P&C Silence 610 PSU.
I am looking to replace and supplement my current boot and storage drives with some SATA 2 drives (I currently have a SATA1 160gb that I boot from, a SATA1 200 that serves as one storage drive and an IDE 250 that serves as my media drive, the only one I am mildly concerned about function wise is the oldest one which is the 160gb boot drive, but my main concern is increasing my storage capabilities a bit and prices seem good).
I originally thought to get maybe a 1TB or even just a 500GB boot drive and then a 2 TB storage drive.

Getting 2 of the latter, 1 for boot and 1 for storage, and the repurposing my 200 GB SATA1 drive for just music play and my ide drive for a quick internal backup for my non video data, ie duplicating my music and personal documents on the ide drive and backing up the other data files to an online cloud service, seems like the way to go here.
Price is a strong consideration, I still have not recovered from several years of health induced financial problems but I think I need to spend something keeping my current PC both running and marginally close to being up to date.
Any help/advice appreciated and thanked in advance.
