God, I dont feel like adding it all up. With all the TV shows, MP3s, etc, im probably around the 200GB range.

20 GB and 40 GB drives. 20 has 11 GB free (it's my system drive) and the 40 has 19 GB free. I have probably 30 burned discs of other data.

About 49.9 gigs out of 50. I'm not kidding either, I have 94.1 megs of free space on both my hard drives. Doh D:

Main system's got:

25+GB mp3
30+GB movies/video, etc.

And some space from games and other software. Total HD space, 290GB.

Backup linux box: 16GB total, nothing on it but Mandrake 8.2 and whatever installs by default.

Using about 6.9GB on my C drive (40GB) and about 4.3GB on my D drive (30GB).....C drive is used mostly for programs and stuff, D drive is used mostly for mp3s, and the stuff I cant lose in the event of an unscheduled reformat.

94% system resources free on a 4.3gb HD. Most of the stuff I have on my PC is designed to get rid of garbage, and for diagnostics..... -kd5-

ive got like 7 gigs of mp3s, like a gig of music videos, i think i have 40 days and 40 nights on here somewhere.


and outside of that, i have winxp and office xp installed and some apps. dont you guys with high usage fear like data loss?


i usually backup all my stuff onto external drive (or soon my new p4 machine which will backup onto my laptop which i've been using as my main system for 6 months).


like with raid being so cheap and people having so much stuff, i'm surprised people dont run raid 1 more often

Would've saved money by buying CDRs. :D

I have 180 gigs amoung my storage drives. 60GB in my compu, 120 in a raid array (raid card $7) and it's for fileserving in my firewall computer.
Mainly for anime and mp3s. Lots of hot pictures of Christina too!
