How big is your Hard drive?

Aug 25, 2002, 04:01 PM

We seem to have a poll for everything... so why stop there? How big is your hard drive? And if you have 2 then just add them together.

On each of the three rigs all networked together. I'm thinking of adding another 80-100GB box to my main multi-media machine if'n I can ever find a decent software digial VCR.

LOL, ur gonna laugh at this

2x 120gb, 5x 30gb, 2x 60gb

all in my normal box. And most of it is full, only got 15gb free space spread across all the drives.

Must get round to burning those movies to disk.........

40GB Western Digital 2mb cache (33GB Free, Windows+programs)
80GB Western Digital 8mb cache (47GB Free, Games+music+movies+pr0n)

For all four systems :

ENTERPRISE = 60 + 60 + 40 = 160GB
SOVEREIGN = 60 + 60 + 40 = 160GB
PROMETHEUS = 40 + 40 + 15 = 95 GB
EXCELSIOR = 20 + 20 + 20 + 120

= 180 GB

They're put to good use...

OMG, how things have moved on

Now I have 8 x 250gb in the box and another 8 x 250gb in USB2 boxes plugged in the back.
My downloading rig has 4 x 250gb in RAID0 to give one huge disk to dump stuff to......
Even wifeys lappy has a 120gb disk.......
If your wondering why all 250gb, they have the best price to size ratio at the moment

Razgriz · Aug 10, 2006, 11:56 PM
