Uh, cuz they need more storage space??? You have a 120gb, 160gb, and another 160gb HDD when you really could get by with one 60gb drive. What could you possibly use all that hdd space for? :roll:

Not to mention the performance boost you get from a newer generation hard drive. Look at my previous post you can get the same 7200.8 drive for $95 in SATA.
