Hi Craig,
I would have a use for 6G or 8G hard disks. I use a 'caddy'
(removable hard disk tray) and I simply swap the hard drives as per need
and reboot the system. That may not be everybody's cup of tea, but it works
for me as I am a great believer in the KISS rule.
If anybody has an old hard drive of that or similar size which is not completly
worn out and no use to him, I would buy it form him for a reasonable price.
Regards
