Only if they are currently installed and in use on your system

how long does ripping a dvd take?

About 15 minutes for me, YMMV based on disc read/decryption/HD write speeds.

do you rip the dvds because you are paranoid the discs will fail or for some othe rreason?

Column A + multiple Column Bs:
A: Optical media is physically much more fragile than magnetic.
B1: With all my movies on a central server, I can play anything I want from any device on the network without having to juggle discs.
B2: By ripping them to a server, I can remove all the promos/menus/extras (hereafter referred to as "Useless Crap") from the disc, and be left with just the pure movie.
B3: Because I can.

Forgot about my 360, guess that's 600GB for me.

My cheap 7 year old computer at home (Win95) has 20 Gigabites.
That's all
Do I get a prize for lowest GB?
(my previous computer had ONE GB)

Dont worry - Getting a new technically-literate-boyfriend-approved one soon.

 

[Dualist]

About 100 GB, just a guess.

Ok, Just curious on how many Gb (Gigabytes) you have in your home.

(Total Space) from all machines.

I will be adding screen shot of mine later:

Workstation: 4 x 80Gb (striped) 320Gb
Server: 5 x 500Gb (Raid5) 2500Gb or 2.5TB (2Tb usable)
HTPC: 2 x 500Gb (no Raid) 1000Gb or 1Tb
Laptop: 1 x 60Gb (no raid) 60Gb

Total 3880Gb or 3.8Tb



BTW about 2.7Tb in use or 1.1Tb of usable space left!

Are you counting external hard drives, disks (1.4 MBs at a time add up), flash memory and such?

 

[DarphB]

No Flash/Floppys, Blank or used CDRs and DVDs


I know there are more than 135 people on Anandtech!

 

[mobobuff]

Only one machine, roughly 1TByte.

 

[eplebnista]

360gb

 

[DaWhim]

120gb for my laptop
240gb for my desktop
60gb in a 3.5 enclosure
60gb 2.5" spare
200gb 3.5" collecting dusts
a small 6gb 2.5 hdd.

NEED? That is so over-rated Seriously, need does not come to mind when you talk about computer anything.

 

[Zap]

Eh, too lazy to count it up down to the last byte, but probably somewhere in the 3TB range, not counting around 1.5TB unused.
