Hard Drive Layout and storage options

[Prian]

Hey guys im going to build a new system soon and I really dont want to buy more hard drives as I have enough already, I have a lot of files and a lot of space but mix matched drives which is really annoying me, I hope you lovely people can help me

these are the drives and whats on them:
OCZ Octane 128gb SSD for my boot drive and important programs

500GB Samsung spinpoint F1 for documents, music, downloads and games (steam, wow, need for speed)

1TB samsung spinpoint F3 which is full of TV shows...Legally obtained of course...

and a 1.5TB External drive with about 600gb of movies and a backup of bits and bobs from each drive above.

I need a new way to keep all this because its a mess and I cant think of a better way of storing it.
I feel as if the 500gb is being wasted as usually there is around 350gb free and its never used but i dont think i should have all those games on my SSD.

I only need a backup of my documents, its not really the end of the world if i loose my tv or movies.

this may just be some common sense im lacking but I really have been baffled by this for a while

thanks for the help also sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum

I would get one of those external nas things, you could put your hard drives in that and keep your ssd in your machine. I have seen external nas drives for about £20-£100.
