ok, im building a new pc, and was wondering about hard drives, is it better to go for ide or sata, or a combination, and i need two hard drives - one for back up, so would it better to have 1 big sata drive then a smaller ide drive if thats possiable, or is there much differance between two ide drives and two sata drive.

Buncha drives is better than 1 big one.
Like a modest 80-120GB UltraIDE to start, and a coupla 120-160GB SATAs D: and E: would be nice (and not too expensive).
Rather have that then 1 300GB drive, for many reasons.
The ONLY downside is, you gotta fit them in your case and they can generate a lot of heat...
But for performance, different drives (each on their own controller) is the way to go.
