I’m all excited. Pictured above is my new Western Digital 500 gigabyte IDE hard drive. It’s in an enclosure which I got a few months ago.

These days you can buy 500 gigabyte external hard drives which come with their own enclosure for about $160. I could have done this, but I didn’t want to waste my enclosure which I’d already bought.

I didn’t get a SATA drive because I’m not sure if any of my computers can accomodate that. It’s a much newer technology than any of my machines.

What will I use it for? Right now I’m thinking I’d like to put a few documentaries on there. I like watching those. The problem is they aren’t seen on P2P sites as often as other types of films. Patience.
