Continuing to eat my own medicine here.. today I picked up another WD Green drive -- the 2TB/64MB model.

This replaces the 1.5TB drive currently in the MythTV box. The 1.5TB then becomes the backup disk for that same box, freeing up the 1TB Black drive formerly used for backup.

And the 1TB Black is now the WinXP-Pro drive for our sole Windows box.

Did I mention that I _like_ the current Black and Green models from WD ? smile
Apart from having to run WDIDLE3.EXE from a diskette once per drive, that is.
