So I grabbed a bargain of a 500gb 2.5" hard drive from Amazon (less than £40). Only drawback, it has a gold case with a Michael Jackson logo on it!

Fortunately it came with a faux leather slip on case that covers it quite nicely :)

In other news, I finally have most of my studio PCs sorted out (3x 1U half depth servers with Creative SB0460 PCI sound cards) and also my NAS.

I obtained a Maxtor MaxAttach 4300 and it is currently running with 1x 40gb, 2x 200Gb and 1x 500Gb drive. This will soon be 2x 200Gb and 2x 500Gb giving me just under 1.9TB of storage made available using iSCSI and CIFS over a GigE connection - sweet! This will then sit in my 12U studio rack along with a couple of PCs and some Behringer effects units ready for me to finally do some proper remixes and music.

However, first we need to move house. 2 adults and 2 children do not fit well into a 2 bed flat. So we are looking to move into a house with 3+ beds and 2+ reception rooms as that will give us enough space for everything we need to pack into it...I hope!

In other news, my PIX 515 has died! It now complains about the lack of a valid boot image on its system flash. So Im gonna have to rip it out and fix it. Fortunately, my little Velociraptor 1100 running RAQCOP is purring along nicely.
