I have Times Two running on my two Hard Drives at this very moment.
It made my internal 120 and my external 80 into 240 and 160, respectively.
IMHO, Times Two is much more versatile than Spacesaver, AutoDoubler, etc.  
because (A) you can copy files to disk w/out wondering if they're  
compressed or not. (I'm not sure if current versions of AD or SS do this) 
and (B) I can plug my external drive to another computer and be certain  
that it will be able to access the files, without having TimesTwo on the  
other computer. The HD Driver implementation works very well.

The only drawback I can think of is that large (i.e. over 10MB at a time)  
file transfers are slowed down to about 2/3 or 3/4 of normal speed. For  
me, though, this is seldom a worry.
