I was interested in your description of what you do with old drives. What are removable trays, how much do they cost, where do you get them, can you use them with any computer? Aren't USB enclosures nearly as expensive as just buying a new drive? Or is there an inexpensive source somewhere? If I have installed a new hard drive and moved an old one to slave position (following instructions), would I have any problem installing an old drive in a USB enclosure? Thanks, AnnaSummers

Excerpt:
I would use Partition Magic to copy your current drives to two partitions
on the 120 GB drive (and expand them to at least 40 GB each), and remove the
two small drives. All of my drives less than about 18 GB now live in
removable trays or USB enclosures, and only get used to move large data
volumes from one machine to another. --David Gillett
