How do you organize your hard drive?

[gizbug]

Right now, Running 3 HD's.

(128 SSD) Windows/Main apps
(2TB Seagate Barricuda) Have main directories as D:\Games, D:\Apps then install within those folders
(2TB WD Green) E:\Backup, E:\Downloads, E:\Music, E:\Movies, E:\Videos, E:\Misc

Wondering how others organize all their crap on their pc, might be looking at becoming better organized to reduce clutter.

At work I have a single 120GB SATA HDD with 90% of my files getting stored on the server. At home I have a laptop with a 750GB SATA drive and a 500GB external that's used for backups.

What about the hierarchy of your folder structures

 

[NikolaeVarius]

My files are pretty unorganized in general.

My 100+ GB of porn on the other hand, is immaculately organized by category, length,fetish and actors.

New Folder, New Folder(2), New Folder(3), etc. A few movies/tv folders, same for music & proggies. When I run out of space I either copy it onto an external drive (no doubt duplicating), or buy a new backup drive.

Edit: My old 2*120G raid is super organised. It's currently plugged into a little Via C7 box trying to brute force the 1024bit encryption I forgot the key for... Safety first :thumbsup:

I have an 300GB SSD (C : drive) and a 1.5TB hard drive (D : drive). I created a D : \Users directory and I created a soft-link of C: \Users using the Windows "mklink" command. Then the only other thing that I did was to create a C : \Games directory to load games into - I separated them out of "C : \Program Files" so save space on my backup drive (I don't back up C : \Games).

So my organization system is to just let Windows do it's thing and I put music in My Music, videos in My Videos, etc. and due to the symlink all of that is off on the D : drive.

This thread would get more responses if it were moved to the storage sub-forum, or maybe general hardware.

Edit: Nevermind, it has been moved.

1.5TB OS, all apps, & long term storage ... "c:\work" with sub directories for all data files. Provides a single directory to backup

128 SSD short term work & scratch directories. Some programs write a lot of data during execution & the SSD noticeably improves that performance.

Re-boot is about once a week so OS on SSD ... meh

Three partitions on a 1TB VelociRaptor, everything meticulously organized.
