Question about use of 2 very large hard drives on laptop. I recently bought a HP dv7t with 2 very large hard drives. I use dropbox for backup and sync. So far very happy with both. I'm curious about how others use this much storage for performance, ease of use and backups. I'm thinking about putting all my data on the 2nd drive and using that as default "save as" option. That way, if the o/s has a problem, it may be less daunting to get back up and running. I would backup periodically separately on the 1st drive the folders I use most often, but dropbox syncs to my other computers seamlessly so not sure how useful this is. I'll never use anywhere near the storage. I'm not a big music and video accumulator but I'll put that stuff on the 2nd drive. I haven't found an easy way to have dropbox backup and sync to both hard drives. I think it's possible, by somehow linking, but my technical understanding of how to do this is limited. Any comments or suggestions as to best way to handle this? Thanks again for all the great suggestions here.
