I recently found a good deal on a 7200 RPM 500GB latpop drive and decided to upgrade myself to that. I’ve been operating on a 150GB drive for a long time and hadn’t been cleaning up old projects, encodings, etc. so it was running thin on space. This was a cheap upgrade (< $90) so I opted for it. I finally got a moment last evening to pop it in and start the fresh installs of everything. Doing so reminded me of how long this process takes for us geeky people. Luckily I do a backup first using my Home Server so that in the event I screw up, things are there. Now most would say that I should just pop in the hard drive and do a restore. I don’t do this for 2 reasons frankly. First, I have to admit, the ‘restore’ process for me on Home Server hasn’t always been a consistent one...
