Actually, there is one more thing. What about a hard drive to load
the OS and run the database off of? I would recommend not running the
system and db off the same partition for storage. And are you going
to configure the 750gb drives in a raid or use storage groups?

Hmm.... Well.... to answer the first question, I was planning on
using one drive as an OS drive + storage and the other drive as just
storage. I just sort of assumed that MythTV could be configured to use
various storage devices so my friend could just pick whichever. The
Antec Fusion only supports 2 HDs so I could sacrifice one whole drive
as just an OS drive, but I wanted to give as much storage space as
possible. I was not planning to use RAID.<br>
<br>
So what do you think? I could go with one of those 10k 36 GB SATA
drives for the OS drive and just have one 750 GB drive for storage.
Would that make more sense? <br>
<br>
For anyone else reading this, do you agree that disk activity is high
enough for non-storage functions that this is an important point to
consider?<br>
