I don't.

I needed the 300 GB I had desperately (I had like 300 MB free total) and then I won this 400 GB HD online in a forum's contest. Now space is not an issue, but I know I'll eventually fill it up.

Tested the read/write speeds on my hard drives.

Used HD Tach: http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public/index...?request=HdTach

Here's my results using the long bench (32mb zones). My drives are in RED. Drives from the program's database are in BLUE. I have a Pentium 4 3.0C GHz.

I defragged each drive 2 or 3 times after actually defragging them to make sure they were 100% defragged. They are also all about 1/2 full:
