You know, if you configured those 4 200gb drives in a raid 5 array, your overall performance would shoot up quite a bit. Just partition them as you feel necessary and enjoy the on-line redundancy of your hard work (and increased speed to boot!). As for the 120... There isn't really much you can do with it other than hold things you don't use too often.

The big thing I've been preaching to all of my buddies lately that are going out and getting the latest and greatest processors and so forth, is that for a while now, the hard disk has been the slowest link in the chain.
