I have an external harddrive with 250GB of free space and an internal one where I have a 50GB that is on the brink of being filled. Both harddrives run at 5400RPM.

I currently use the internal one but I fear I will run out of space soon and it being over 90% full may affect it's performance.

However I fear the external will be unsuitable for HEM as its speed will be limited by the USB2 port.

-1 for $60 buy a new 1 TB 7200 harddisk.
-2 Use the old 5400 internal harddisk. Do everything in my top 10 performance thread (see my signature) to keep the database small

Spent the best part of the day doing number 2.
Great list. I've managed to free up 11gigs from #10 alone.
I've purged 1million hands and am gunna vacuum before going to bed then install the new Postsql 2morro.
Thanks
