Exactly Roger. So now we need 2 external drives, giving you 3 drives in total. But interestingly, how do you manage these? In the good old DOS days, I could, at the dos prompt type something like this: xcopy c:\my documents /s/date=.. where everything before or from a particular date was copied to another directory. Must say, I miss some of these old dos commands.

I keep everything on mine, in fact the only thing on my internal drive now is installed programs, everything else is on the external one.

We have been looking to increase the size on the drives we already have, and since it has been an absolutely gorgeous day, thought we would take a trip out.
We have indeed bought the Maxter 750GB, though they sold it to us at £109.99, but I didn't argue over the few pounds more than Andy paid at his Glasgow store.
Ian is currently copying our music collection over to the new drive, and it seems quite nifty. The only slightly annoying aspect of buying larger drives is that you lose a lot of space due to the formatting. For example, on this drive, the free space available is 698.whatever on a total of 750GB. That's just about 50GB lost. I've noticed the larger the drives, the more formatting space is used.
Anyhow, this certainly appears to be a good buy if anyone is thinking of upgrading. Thanks Andy very much for bringing that to our attention.
