I would add it to my WHS and increase my pool of storage.

I am not sure if I would enclose it on its own or stick it into an existing system... I do know however that I am in need of storage. I coach several youth sports and have kids playing high school sports as well (football, wrestling, cheer). In addition, I have a 7 month old that needs pictures taken of. Photos and videos pile up quickly for my 8 children (yes 8!)

My backup and media server has a 40gb HDD, and it is packed. I'd probably pop this drive into an enclosure, and finally have seemingly unlimited space!

I would make it an external HD and use it to back up the five computers we have in our household.

I'd probably also put it in an enclosure and use it as an external HD for backup, since I don't have a real backup system now.

Default Hard Drive

I would put it in an enclosure and load all my movies on it to play back through my Xbox 360.

Well I was thinking I needed to upgrade one of my older computers and add a 2nd drive to my Windows Home Server (either in an enclosure or in the case if there is room). So I am going to use if for one of these. Save me some cash.

I would use it for backup. I have a external SATA hard drive docking station that lets me easily connect the drive.

I would put it in my daughter's Dell E510. It has a 160gb drive that's getting a little crowded. But primarily, she needs another drive for backup.

I would add the drive to my media server which the drive in it now is almost full and really needs an upgrade.
