In my Quicksilver I have several drives.

40GB/2MB HD Western Digital
80GB/2MB HD(OEM)
120GB/2MB HD Maxtor
120GB/8MB HD IBM/Hitachi

and soon my BRAND NEW 250GB/8MB HD I JUST GOT FROM OFFICE DEPOT FOR $129.97!!!!!!!!!

So, since I am moving drives around, should I make the new 250GB/8MB drive my boot disk or should I use the 120GB/8MB for the boot drive?

Doesn't really matter if they are both 8MB/7200 RPM drives. Take your pick.

I am thinking I will use the 120GB/8MB drive as my main and the 250GB/8MB as my back up.

Alright buster, How'd you swing that deal? I just bought a 200GB 7200 8MB for under $120 after rebate, and that was after running around with price watch and pricegrabber.
