yes my double height 20mb hd lol🙂 it weighed like 10lbs or something... good god. i can't wait for terabyte. stuff like video..and soon hd pvr or whatever just wipes out space easy

 

[Gurck]

2x 120gb IDEs in my main rig (no raid), 40gb in my htpc. I back a lot up to CD though, might get a dual layer dvd burner soon

 

[blurredvision]

Just x2 200GB Maxtor's in my rig. 400GB combined is well more than enough for me.

 

[Supermercado]

80GB x2, 20GB, 30GB, and 40GB, spread out over two desktops and a laptop. Total of 250GB.

 

[ElFenix]

2x 200 gig seagates
1x 160 gig seagate
2x 80 gig seagates
1x 80 gig maxtor
= 800 gigs

Nope.

Our largest HD is WD 120GB which is going into our ghetto HTPC (to avoid Tivo's monthly fees).

I just squashed your E-cock...I have 2 terabytes on my server 😉

I have an 80 GB and 27 GB drive I need to install in my secondary home rig.

 

[SKORPI0]

6 drives - 970 GB - 234.8 GB free.

The Maxtor 250GB drive has HDTV movies (transport stream files). No pron. 😉

I have 3x120 in my main rig, 40+80 in the secondary rig.
They've been enough so far...

Games and music, mainly. Average game now is a few gb, and while 128bit mp3s might be small, higher bitrates and especially lossless can eat up space like you wouldn't believe. Also need a lot of space for video editing.

LOL. 🙂

Here's the breakdown...

80GB - Windows XP & Programs. Freeware/Shareware/Trial-software downloads.
120GB - MP3 - sorted by genre/artist/album title. Took awhile to rip them with audiograbber & other programs. Downloads of too hard to find songs. Mostly 254/320 kbps bit-rate. Very convenient when I feel like playing a particular song/artist. Sounds great on my Logitech Z5300 speakers.
160GB - Video captures. mpg/avi format. Mostly T.V. episodes. Top Gear, Penn& Teller. Some are downloads and mostly are captures with my TV tuner card.
250 GB - HDTV - 720/1080i format. TS format. Captured with a Motorola HDTV box (Comcast HD) via Firewire. Looks great on my Dell 2100FP LCD.
160GB - DVD backups in ISO format. I mount them with Daemon when I want to watch.
200GB - Still empty - Probably fill it up with more video/dvd.

The nice thing is, I can share the files with the 2 other systems I have over the network.

Surprised that it takes a lot of space. Once in a while (when I feel like it), I back up all the data on DVD+R/DVD-R media. I have about 250 blank DVD+-R from Hot deals.

Thanks for the break down but you forgot the pron part, or is that the DVD backups? 🙂

I picked up the SATA Maxtor 300GB w/16MB cache about a month and a half ago. Very nice fast and quiet drive.

So hard drives I have
300GB SATA
160GB SATA
160GB PATA connected via firewire
100GB PATA
60GB PATA
2 27GB PATA

Total - 834GB (about 600GB is used)
