I'd probably put it in an enclosure to use as an external drive.

I'd pop it in the WHS and use it as backup and regular network attached storage.

I've got two 160 GB SATA I drives that store my media (backed up to WHS). This would serve as a replacement for both, which I'd take to school to serve as a shared, RAID'ed container for storing VM's that I use in my classes.

Most likely, an external enclosure.

Wow, I would add them to my current unit maxed at 250 GB and add the rest to an old pc and use the rest for a home server usindg an old pc in the basement...I have no hard drives for it now....this would be great. I lost pictures and music and videos , i belive due to messing with Kazaa Years back. This would eliminate losses

Jason,

I'm, in the process of updating my network and adding another 50GB drive to the NAS box I just got would be awesome. I'll need to ,make it an external drive but it would be nice to go from 200GB to 1.5TB in one upgrade!

Thumbs up Connect it to my WHS to back up more data

I'd buy another enclosure and connect it to my WHS with the other 750 GB.
You can never have enough storage, especially where backups are concerned.

I would use it to replace the data drive in my media server. The current drive is too small and almost full.
