I have to stop buying harddrives

[So]

(on one computer) if you count all the drives in the house, I'm near 750 GB, iirc.

 

[Hammer]

you can buy a hard drive, but not pay for a lawyer for traffic court?

 

[RossMAN]

I'm using maybe 25GB.

Once I get my HTPC setup I'm sure I'll buy a few 200-300GB HD's.

dont see the need for more....backup data on to DVD and keep a nice small quick access hdd for games

I've got a 40 gig on my PC and 40 on my notebook. I'm probably using less than 25 on both combined.

I have an 80 gig and a 160 gig. How do I get more than two hard drives in my comp?

I know what you mean. I have 700GB and about 600GB are filled up.

Get a PCI IDE controller card. Gives you 2 channels and thus 4 devices you can put in

[skyking]

Go the fileserver route and build a unix box. Stick a pc133 card in and put in 4 JBOD, or pop for a RAID card and go whole hawg!

Promise IDE controller.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Nice deal. It's definitely cheaper than going the storage server route. If you really wanted to setup a NAS though, you could always spend some cash on a tower with a ton of bays and a SCSI controller...throw a PIII class system in it and Run Linux. Then you could mount some NTFS drives that way. Look at SuSE for your Linux distro. They have a lot of nice options.

You'd be talking a little more for the up-front system cost and probably more overall for the SCSI drives, but you could get a nice 3 year warranty on those and they'd be much faster....better for a NAS.

*shrugs*......i rarely download stuff, only .exe for demos, patches etc, i get those from sites or kazaa (spyware free version a friend did for me..heh). Also large hard drive slow down your game playing due to more space to seek......they might claim good seek times, but thats on an empty drive..hehe advertising is a fun game, i work in that field, what you get isnt what you was paying for most of the time...lol

what is azureus anyhow?

Why 75 cents per gig, when you can go lower.

Fixed it for you.

Speaking as a video editor who has deleted at least a TB this year to make space for projects.

2-160gb and 2-200gb Maxtors.

On this PC I have 870GB:


1 120GB
1 200GB
1 250GB
1 300GB

I have 460GB more around the house

Can I have the other 460GB?

 

[Spike]

Man, you guys put me to shame. I thought I was so big with 610 GB in two computers (450 in one, 160 in the other) but now I see my e-penis is smaller...

As for that listed drive, I don't see what the big deal is with the ethernet port. I am probably just missing it but like alot of the others here, I won't spend anything over 50 cents per gig, in fact I have not spent over 25 cents per gig for the last 450 gigs I bought
