Get a bigger hard drive instead of mutiple smaller drives, unless you're doing a RAID or something. Half-Life 2 takes up atleast 4.5 GB, and if you go with the Steam Silver or Gold packages, Half-Life 2 + the entire Valve back catalog takes up about 8 GB. But the real issue is heat and noise. Mutiple drives will generate more heat a noise than a single drive, and you'll have to have more fans to keep all those drives cool..and a bigger case...and... In the end you have a noisy behemoth of a box that you don't dare turn on because of the noise and won't fit nicely on a desk. ;-) -- Andrew S.
