8 hard drives . My machine is on a network 14 hard drives in total across the down stairs network.All my stuff is spred out,important things backed up regular ,none critical things backed up less often. If I bought 400 gig hdds then if one goes 400 gig goes, spreading the data out amongst loads of hdds means at worst I lose 200 gig .Every device has a purpose and thats all it has to do so there not constantly active they last longer.I also run 3 optical drives these also all have there own jobs

I've hit the limit on my 550W now too. 6HD's and 3 Optical Drives in here, AMD64 4000 and the very powerhungry 6800Ultra. If I so much as plug in my TV Capture card, let alone the 2nd PCI Gfx card I wanted to use to support 3 monitors on this machine like I used to do before I got the Nvidia power monster, it just keels over, unstable as hell. 12 HD's across my network too, I also use specific drives for single purposes in the same manner, my largest being 300GB. I can see myself happily using 800-900W too, need another Raid in here soon
