Wow guys! Thank you for your insight.
I apologize about the delay in response, but I really appreciate everyone's help.

Hi everyone,
Hope you all had great weekends. I was hoping that you might be willing to advise me on a an upcoming hard drive purchase.
Current Setup
I currently use a 750GB 7200rpm 3.5" drive as my "Games" drive. About 200GB is taken up by Steam, while the rest is taken up by assorted game...
