-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well considering the computer is old. Most new motherboards run sata hdds and my last look at internal hdds a 1tb hdd was $220. So if your drives are over 5yrs old I would recommend replacing them anyway. I picked up a 320gb usb hdd for $85 6 months ago and saw a tb for about the same price as the internal ones. USB has come a long way in kernel support and I've seen 16 gb flashies for <$50 with 1gb running <$10 so why use floppies? There are also special file servers with RAID/Hot swap bays for around $600 and that is all they do is store data. So using a laptop to send/receive data would work wonderfully.
