Advice on hardrive setup?
Hey all!
I'll get right to it 
I have a 1tb sata2 drive : that I'm using as media storage
a 250g sata2drive in a heatsink enclosure that has windows installation
and also have a 360g udma IDE drive blank.
What would be my best setup to take advantage all drives?
Redundancy, performance options? I have no raid controller inboard
and I've heard bad things about software versions
any and all help much appriecated

Not sure if you mean the 250g drive is an external drive I am assuming it is... It also greatly depends on the system your installing them into. I would install the 360g as the primary Hard Disk Drive and install the Windows O/S on there and then configure your 1TB and 250 Gb sata hard disks for your file and media storage. I would leave the 360 drive with just windows on it and install all applications and software on the other drives... thus windows has a drive to itself and should perform more efficiently for longer.
