I understand it a little more now, but could you please explain the concept of "fibre-channel" to me? Thanks.

I got a Western Digital 200GB WD2000JB IDE, Western Digital 120GB WD1200JB IDE and 2 Western Digital 36GB Raptors WD360GD SATA, which comes to a total of 392GB on my desktop.

I got a Hitachi 60GB HDD in my notebook plus a 40GB External Lappy HDD, which comes to 100GB on my notebook.

All together, i have 492GB of storage, which is pleanty for me since i dont keep pr0n on my computer.

I've got 2 80GB drives in RAID 0 on my desktop, which is more that enough space for me, since I'm crazy about not wasting it. Before my last format I had gotten down to 75% free space...I'm just used to small hard drives (40GB on laptop, and my old desktop had 8GB.)

A fiber channel is basically an ultra fast connection between a large storage array of hard drives and the rest of the network. It can reach transfer speeds of up to 2Gbps. It's normally used to connect a SAN Array to a server/network.

I get the 200TB part, but the fibre-channel part is over my head...
Fiber channel is a type of interface like scsi or pata, sata. But fiber use fiber optic cables to transmit the data.

on another note i got around 1 tb of storage about 200gigs free, since i havent installed the other drive yet =D
