That's easily over 5G for drives! :Q Do you buy them in bulk to get discounts? What kind of raid are you running on your systems and what kind of power supply are you using? Wow!
Why do you went with external HD usb instead of single file serve w/ SANs? That's over 14TB of space.

I really want to know what some people are doing with 10+ TB at home. Video editing? HDTV recording? SQL Databases?

The biggest consumer HDD out on the market is 750GB, there is only one valid answer for your poll...

Workstation:
74gb raptor
2x7200.10s 320gb each
7200.9 250gb..

That adds up to what.. 960gb? Just shy of 1TB. Of course I have a 160gb PATA drive lying around, it's just that I'm out of drive rails....

Just installed a fresh 320Gb. Awating RMA of a 250Gb.

6 or 7 other random sized drives litter my Study.

Really dumb. There are only a few 1 TB hard drives out there right now, and they're the biggest ones! Everyone else is "cheating", and counting RAID arrays as a single drive.
