I've just opted for the easy route... And bought a couple of TB S-ATA drives... They are only £70... I plan to try an dump all the random odd sized ATA disks that I currently have...

What do you mean by dump?
As in trowing them away?

No, I'll archive some stuff on them and put them in a cupboard. I'm not sure how much longer I'll have any mobos with P-ATA interfaces on... I'll have to keep one around I guess... :-(

Use an Amiga! :-D

:-D not sure how my little A1200 will cope with my assorted array of old HD's ranging from 30gig to 300gig... All soon to be formatted HFS+...

I will keep an old PATA->USB2 converter around should I need to recover any data stored on the drives... At the moment I also have a pair of 80gig drives in a raid0... Using some weird Nvidia raid BIOS feature... That will have to be deraided :-/

Ok! PCMCIA 802.11B card, AmiTCP and SAMBA server. Surely it couldn't be *that* slow and unreliable? ;-)

Well.. It's the only being able to use about 0.02% of the total drive space that would be the most concern :-)
