I'm going to disagree with the external sentiment here. External drives can get bumped around and have needle crashes or other problems. They also have generally slower access speeds by virtue of USB 2.0 (625 MB/s) vs. SATA (3.0 GB/s, more than 4x faster). Managing large files on an external drive can be gruelingly slow.

Within the next 2 years, I'm planning on building a Media Center PC, and will be getting (at minimum), 4x 2 Terabyte drives. Two will be the main data drives, and the other two will be clones of the two drives in case of a HDD crash. If I go through the trouble of putting my movies on a hard disk, losing them is just simply not something I want to contend with. If they have larger drives by the time I move on this box, I'll use those instead.

I'd definitely go internal 2TB with a 2nd clone drive at minimum.

If you're worried about it getting bumped around, pay the extra cash and go solid state.

solid state is really expensive. Not worth the premium unless you REALLY want fast storage or you just have a lot of disposable income.

Don't go external because sometimes the video can't even playback without choppiness because the data rate is so slow.

Installing an internal hard drive is easy as long as you don't bounce it off the floor.

By an internal drive from newegg.com on black friday and install it yourself. Don't be intimidated.

This is true. HD upgrades are probably the easiest thing to do.

But I like having a portable HD that's fast. Some of these newer externals can swap 4 gb out in less than 2 mins.

What about a data server. Never fuged with one of those before.

media servers aren't too hard I've never done one though. I've been thinking about making one for panther games, I found an amazing torrent site that has games all the way back to 95.

I'm kind of scared the NFL would sue me if I started to mass distribute games though. I have no idea how they would lose revenue over it. They should just sell freaking game tapes. I don't get why they don't except it would be tricky sorting out who gets the money since FOX and CBS etc. would want in on it.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
