How much hard drive storage have you at home?

Judicael · Jan 4, 2005, 08:35 PM

Jesus am I the only one who's not insane! Can you guys really have that much stuff? I just had my system crash and i reinstalled XP from scratch, the only thing that I vitally needed were my documents, music, and email (which i keep on one DVD-RW). Sure I have another 10 GBs of installs for programs and what-not, but that it.

To all of you backing up movies on your computer: buy a DVD burner! It's cheaper and you can watch them from the comfort of your couch -- plus if you get a divx dvd player ~$100 you won't even have to re-encode all of those movies you've already backed up.

Really guys...

I have one 120GB, (2) 80GB's, and one 40GB. Also Judicael, a lot of people are into something or another. I like watching fansubs (animation) and I tend to archive entire series for a while before I delete them and subsequently replace them with something else. Even with 240GB I dedicated to it, I sometimes come close to capacity, upon which there are times I clear the entire archive and fill it up with new fansubs!

Vampyromaniac · Jan 6, 2005, 07:22 PM

2x120 and an 80 = 320
just my main PC though

realjessy · Jan 8, 2005, 01:06 PM

Zazzybud · Jan 10, 2005, 02:39 AM

2xWD 160gig 8meg 7200s (non raided)
1x250gig Maxtor 8meg 7200

1x300gig SATA2 16meg 7200 (for Nf4)

I need space... for different reasons

Once I upgrade it'll just be 160,250,300

feki · Jan 11, 2005, 07:42 PM

I got 40GB MAXTOR and 80 GB WD 8MB cache, and i think it is enough for me but i have to delete some files sometimes. But if i did with DV i would have to have bigger and disks.

Szabolic · Jan 11, 2005, 08:05 PM

1 x 60 Gig
2x Maxtor 250 GB 7200 rpm 8 MB
3x Western Digital 250 GB 7200 rpm 8 MB
oh and a 12 GB doorstop

(btw no pr0n either.

)

Callandor · Jan 13, 2005, 02:30 PM

I'm afraid I am at liberty not to say, though I have voted, which means all the DH staff know how much space I have and are currently laughing their pretty little heads off at poor ninny old me.

rushko · Jan 13, 2005, 10:14 PM
