I just realized I misinterpreted the meaning of HD in this topic. I was thinking it was Post your High Definition arrangement, not Hard Disk arrangement.

I suppose it was obvious, and doesn't matter.

Soon to be purchased (like, in the next few days):

Lower Bay:
120 gig SSD Boot Drive
120 gig SSD Boot Drive (Windows, someday...)

Bay 1: 1 TB drive that comes with the machine (Bootcamp, until 2nd SSD gets bought)
Bay 2: 2 TB Caviar Black data drive
Bay 3: 2 TB Carviar Green time machine
Bay 4: Empty. When Bay 1 is phased into something else, we'll see.

External:
1 TB FW800 drive that will server as Bay 2's "Oh ****, fire!" backup.

Is it a WD20EARS Green?? If so how do you find it??

Its a great drive. Not as fast as the stock WD Black but great for my TM backups and another for itunes and older work storage.

I've been debating leaving Time Machine internally or externally.....

I would have my backups internal but if my computer gets stolen I would loose everything.

Makes sense, I think it is beneficial to have an internal Time Machine incase of hard drive failure, especially in a Raid situation but it is pointless not having a stored Backup!!

If you're talking about the boot drives failure, I recommend a bootable CCC clone instead of TimeMachine. Brings you up running again in a view minutes (depending on the boot drives size) instead of hours of re-installing OS X and migrating your data which would be the case with TimeMachine.

Personally, I use both CCC and TimeMachine for my boot drive. CCC for the clone, TimeMachine for recovering files that I might have deleted by accident.
For my data drives, CCC alone is just fine.
