Re: Hard Drives.

If its just a data drive then probably not. It does depend on what filesystem you use. NTFS will be no problem, I can't remember the cluster size of Fat32 when you get to that size of drive, I'll have a dig about when I have a minute spare. I would recommend NTFS over FAT though.

One thing about fragmentation to consider though is that if you set Windows to defrag it a 250gig partition would take AGES, you can do 2x 120 gig partitions in turn rather than in one swoop.
