Just changed over to Mac and would like some advice on hard drive setup. Have a Mac Pro 2.8 with the 320 gig hard drive.
I plan to run Windows with MS Flight Simulator and Office 2007 through VMware Fusion/Boot Camp.
Will be transferring camcorder video to edit and make DVDs. Lots of music, podcasts, photos, and short videos will be stored.
I'm planning to buy additional hard drives.

Any suggestions on how many/what size hard drives to get.

What should the stock 320 hard drive be used for?

Where would I put the Windows stuff? What format/partion size?

Where should the backup go?

I've seen many positive comments on Western Digital Caviar Black drives, would that be a good choice?
