I only have a 30GB HDD in my system right now... however, I also have a 40GB and a 15GB drive lying around. I haven't decided whether to put them in my PC or hack my ReplayTV. :D

documents take up lots of room...especially when they are saved in avi

In this system:
40 gb for system
60 gb for storage
120gb for newsgroups. (just got it about 2 weeks ago and only have 40 gb left)

so in this system, I have 220, so that is what I put in the poll. If you count everything in the house I have:

220 for above
480 in raid for usable 360 in my web/email server
40 gb in backup web server (nonraid)
3 systems with 6 gb drives
1 system with 10 gb
1 system with 30 gb
1 system with 2.1 gb

so in house a total of 680 usable gb.

880 gig of IDE drives and 500 gig of SCSI drives.

Total drive space in the whole house is probably around 6TB at the moment.

I'd love more :)

120+80+160+40 in this system currently
60+10.2 in my other system
and a 120gb sitting unopened


my end arrangement will be 120+120+160
60+80

the total in use will be 540 :p

(who else remembers back when 540 was MEGS instead of GIGS)

I have 360 GB on my main computer, and 1.8 GB on my second computer. All my apples are in one basket. :)

This PC 200 + 120 + 120 + 120 + 120 + 80 = 760GB
All my other boxes have less than 80GB

Yeah, lots and lots of graphics files, but the biggest space-hogs are the video files. I'm thinking of redoing the video arrays in the next couple of weeks, in which case I'll probably throw in a couple of WD2500JB drives I'd picked up recently, which will bump up the numbers a little more.


...or were you asking about pics of the computers? They're badly in need of updating, but I have a few pictures of some of the computers out here at Treenet Topology and The Servers' Quarters (that second one especially mentions a lot of things that were upgraded quite a while ago, but they don't look all that different now, they're just newer, bigger, and faster). Doesn't look like I have any pictures on those pages of the big SCSI arrays or the fibre channel stuff, but mostly those just look like drive arrays.
