Nine years??? I'd get a bigger hard drive. I have a 9000
and it's very quiet and fast. You should be happy with it.

Are the days of having two (or more) hard drives over? Is the current
practice to have a 1 TB hard drive and an external, portable hard
drive?

Good question !!
I don't know the answer but my guess is that it depends on what
situation you are in or want to be prepared for. I'm thinking in
terms of cost, # of systems owned, useage and future useage if
different.

How is it possible to recommend having two hard drives, or what size of
hard drive, or what processor, or how much memory, etc., without knowing
how the OP plans to use the computer?

Unfortunately, the OP has not told us how he plans to use the computer,
or what software he plans to use. Without that information, almost any
opinions we give are purely a shot in the dark.

Of course, it's hard to go wrong by choosing the most powerful computer
you can afford. In that case, your credit card limit determines whether
or not a computer is right for you.

Did you have your first cup of coffee yet or put your glasses on?
Seriously, did you mean to reply to me? If so, you didn't read my
post very well. I said I didn't know and I addressed useage as part
of my answer. I am NOT recommending anything in my previous post.
