Might as well jump on those Sata II drives if you need them now. Mechanical drives can't max Sata II let alone Sata III.

Plex has been acting up for my movie streams recently for some reason.

When I stream my movies in 1080p/10Mbps it's been stuttering or pausing. It just started doing this, it used to be gravy for months.

When I switch it down to 8Mbps its fine, but I can see the difference in quality instantly. Not sure why this is happening, but my speeds are up to like 66Mbps now so this shouldn't be an issue.

Thats just the stream from the TNT website. Tnt Overdrive. As far as I know, HD streams a very hard to come by for sports in XBMC.

I use TntOverdrive for TNT games.
ESPN online streaming (through my moms uverse or through espn.com) Although this stream varies between HD and Horrible quality at times.

For ABC games I just use my tv tuner card to get OTA hd broadcasts.

I saw a 3TB on slickdeals last week that was going for 99 I believe. I missed the sale though, but if yal brehs see an internal HDD for that price again, let me know. Need to cop some more space.
