POLL: How much storage fo you have?

[Locut0s]

I have 340 Gigs, 2 120Gig WD drives and 1 100Gig WD drive. Some may think that's overkill but it's not, with all the anime, videos, tv edpisodes and roms I download I've already filled a lot of that. Of course I'm trying to burn most of it off now.

 

[jonesthewine]

most folks here have more than one rig- me included. here's the breakdown...

work laptop = one 30 gig ??
gaming rig = one 120 gig maxtor
kids game/net rig = one 80 gig seagate
24/7 net/media center rig = one 40 gig WD, one 120 gig seagate
plus an external 160 gig for backups


550 gig total

Your poll stops way too soon.

In my lossless FLAC music server I have 650 GB (250,250,120,30) plus 450 GB (250,200) I keep separately and only attach for manual mirroring.

In my desktop I have 280 (160,120). In my retro gaming box (W98SE/DOS/glide Voodoo3 + Aureal) I have 103 (60,43). In my HTPC pile of unassembled parts I have a 120 GB.

So 1,603 GB for me. Plus an old 486 PC in the closet has another 340 MB, woohoo!

[Lonyo]

2x 80GB
1x40GB (iRiver)
Around 200GB, plus a 160GB and 60GB in another machine (I could steal the 60 gig, not the 160) and 34 + 8 in another machine I can use.
~ 300GB if I wanted.

 

[Gurck]

260, a pair of 120s in my main rig (no raid) and a 40 in my HTPC.

 

[Jeff7]

Main system:

250GB main drive, Maxtor
100GB secondary, Western Digital

Secondary system:
480GB total usable, 4-drive RAID 5, Hitachi drives
160GB extra drive, Hitachi

Laptop:
30GB

Total: 1,020GB

The secondary system is mainly for recording TV shows at high res for later editing. So think around 5.8GB/hour when freshly recorded. The shows are then resampled, and the commercials removed, which puts them at a bit under 2.35GB each.
It also serves as a backup system for all the other PC's on the network - they backup specific folders to it every day.

 

[dguy6789]

I got a 120 gig and a 60 gig in my main rig, and my sister gets the 40 gig 🙂

[KoolDrew]

40GB

 

[wchou]

4.384gb x 100 = 438gb stored on dvd-r, none are on my hd so that's pretty good don't you say?

dvd makes hd next to useless, more capacity = you're going to lose more if your drive dies on you.
so its just pointless.
I didn't vote cause their is no 0, or all backed up on dvd or cdr.

 

[teutonicknight]

30GB (Main)

[uOpt]

In my server (usually I do network install of games) 3x 200 GB, half RAID-0, half RAID-5.

Since I didn't sell the 3x 160 GB Maxtors from my previous array yet I have them floating around various gaming machines. Stupid steam didn't want to install on the network drive so one of them came in handy. Low I have to cope with high load times 🙁

 

[wchou]

i regret buying a 160gb for 92.00 shipped too soon... should have waited 5 years later from today to somethin' like 1600gb for 92.00 shipped! woohoo, that would be nice 😀
just a waste of hard earned doughs. 400gb of dvd-r cost me only 8.00 bucks.

 

[miketheidiot]

Rig1
120 maxtor

Rig2 (in progress)
160 samsung
4x10 seagate (raid 5)

[Arcanedeath]

Lets see....

I have a WD 250 x1
a WD 120 x2
a Maxtor 120 x1
and a Hitachi 60 in my laptop x1

so thats 670 gigs total, and thats just the stuff I use regualry, I have an old 40gb and 30 gb drive lying around that don't really get used much anymore cept to transfer large amounts of data places

 

[Locut0s]

Hmm nice to see I'm not the only one with a need for lots of storage. Far from it, it seems. I'm thinking that in my next super rig I'll get even more storage and set up a Raid 5 or 10 setup for the added security. I already know what it's like to loose a lot of data in an HD crash. My 100Gig WD drive went on me after about 2 or 3 years of hard use and with it went a crap load of roms I'd been colecting for a long time, luckily I've got them all back now. I was pleasantly suprised though that the drive was still under warenty and in no time I had an RMAed drive in my hands, thanks WD!
