Sargentwhitey · Jan 1, 2005, 02:40 PM

101-200
one 100gb
one 30gb (which is rarely plugged in)
and a 74gig Raptor

Sandok · Jan 1, 2005, 02:46 PM

Who DA HELL has more than 1 terrabyte?!

I got one 200gig HD which is more than enough (IDE)

Bart1987 · Jan 1, 2005, 02:51 PM

Who has less than 1GB? :-P or les than 11GB even.

I just got 1 80GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 6Y080P0 (Y314S29E)
8MB cache

Asmoday · Jan 1, 2005, 02:53 PM

Combining all the computers at my house, i have 494gig storage.

Main rig :274gb
laptop:60gb
GF's rig:160gb

Matth · Jan 1, 2005, 02:56 PM

Nicely balanced, except for the 101-200 zone, which cuts the 48 bit LBA barrier

eg. 120Gb, 48 bit not required, 160/200 Gb 48 bit LBA support needed.

I'd suspect that 120Gb are more strongly represented in that group than anything else.

51-100 - probably 99% 80Gb drvies
31-50 - probably 99% 40Gb drives
11-30 - could be split between 20Gb and 15Gb drives
1-10 - a wide category, covering 1Gb drives that were the top of their range, plus 2Gb, 4Gb and others
Under 1Gb - amazed a 5 votes so far from people HERE - DH is normally the "hot computer" zone.

I'm also guessing, though perhaps it may make another poll, that the majority have only one drive.

Possible poll choices - in your current system, number of HD.

One - as bought/built
One, upgraded with removal of smaller
New large drive and old smaller drive.
Pair of drives, non-RAID
Pair of drives, RAID
More than 2, non-RAID
More than 2, RAID

Sandok · Jan 1, 2005, 03:04 PM

Ohhh.. All the PCs in my house make up for 550 gig about...

Sargentwhitey · Jan 1, 2005, 03:59 PM

Well, if we're going by all the house then its... 400GB in two pcs, and two laptops.

germanjulian · Jan 1, 2005, 04:06 PM

160Gb
160Gb
80Gb

400GB

EDIT: wuppsss thought i had a 120Gb not an 80Gb HD

No_Style · Jan 1, 2005, 04:09 PM

160 x 2 (Coming very soon in my rig)
80 x 2 (Bro's rig)
40 (My laptop)
---------
520 GB

This is excluding my 30 GB, I have in a caddy for school.

Here's the real kicker, I'm very conservative on space. I rarely store stuff unless I need it and all my rigs are pr0n free.

mkk · Jan 1, 2005, 04:27 PM

Performance storage is not too expensive today if one just buy at the right level. Take for instance the Samsung 160GB SATA's wich are fast, very low on noise, comparatively low on heat and not too expensive though not the very cheapest. For some it may begin to feel small with drives around 120-160GB, but if the case can hold a couple of drives then its about the right level to go for on price/performance. I only wish my current mobo had more than two SATA ports, but I'll make sure the next one has at least four.

I hate flopping discs. The first thing I do with a game I just purchased is trying to find out how to make a good image of it. If storage space was not limited I would do the same with all movies.

Regular John · Jan 1, 2005, 04:57 PM

I have 2 Western Digital SATA drives in the rig, one 80 gig, one 120 gig

giving a total of about 185 gigs

Drakon · Jan 1, 2005, 05:03 PM

I have 1 20GB Barracuda + 1 80GB Barracuda in my rig and my mom has a 10GB in her dell...
