whats the benefits of two 500gb hd's? and I'm thinking of going with a 500gb maxtor now recalculated my needs and 1tb would be overkill for me.

remember, its not really a TB. they say 1 GB is 1000MB. its not. its 1024. so all those MB they lie about really add up. so convert it first to see how much your REALLY getting.
