It seems like IDE HDDs are going the way of the Dodo bird. Not much selection out there, so I suppose I should start looking at other expansion (external) options, eh? As my budget allows, I want to swap out my 120 Gig internal with a 250 Gig drive, put my 200 Gig external into the MiniStack and put its 120 Gig drive into the enclosure that the 200 is in now and then get a 500 gig sATA external drive. At some point, I may offer the extra drives up for sale or simply take the hammer to them and have them recycled properly.

I have IDE drive enclosures and IDE drives are getting to be very rare and now cost more that sATA drives. I want a larger HD for my Mini (that's the easy part), but then I'll need larger externals in order to accommodate my TM back ups. I still need to process some movies and digitize my vinyl record collection.
