Hard Drives

[Ghoul Hunter]

This is one of those dumb threads you think up at 4 am at night...

How much hard drive space do you have, and how much have you used? Here's mine:

wtf are you going to do with the space

anyway quite a few of my friends at college have terabytes of hdd space

[Ghoul Hunter]

Yeah, I have my 250 gig for games, programs, etc, and my 500 for music, movies, graphics work, etc.

I'm a geek and like these things. I also plan on using 2 processors and 2 of the best video cards out at the time. Is there really any need? No, but I do it because I can. :P

[Ghoul Hunter]

What the, nice edit Amit. Looks like i've gone crazy :p

[Emperor]

What?

[Amit]

josh is going crazy :-*

[Emperor]

Crazy with insanity?

[Ghoul Hunter]

Okay, seriously, didn't you edit that post Amit?

[Amit]

yeah i edited it haha

[Ghoul Hunter]

Ah, good. I got scared for a moment, hahaha.

[TheTastyLettuce]

I have like 32MB left :-/ Really need to get an external HD

[Emperor]

..and there was much rejoicing.

[JohnXDoe]

My internal is 80 gigs with 17 left, my external is 80 with 57 left. I use the external for backing up files, but if I ever run out of space on my internal I'll use it as primary storage as well. But that won't be for awhile, I suppose, as my internal has some used space I can free up and I don't plan on adding a lot of music soon on account that I use a music service, and my external for video.

Necronomicon, I notice you have just 706MB free out of 225 gigs on one of your drives. Is it generally ok to fill an HD that close to max capacity? I've read it can cause performance problems and that at least 2 gigs should be left free, but I'm not so sure.

How much do you have used on C?

[TheTastyLettuce]

Haha, why do you guys think you need so much space?

160 gigs? :eek:

[JohnXDoe]

It's a size issue, if you know what I mean? With Amit it alsio extends to fast cars :-\

[Klown]

250Gb x 1
80Gb x 2
13Gb x 1
37Gb Raptor x 1

460Gb in total.

[IPolkaLikeThis!]

1 15gig, 3 40gig, 1 80gig.

the 15 and one 40 are internal, the rest are external.

Well, that's not vey much. Anything more though and you must be over compensating for something....

Or you just really like bittorrent.

[Rrrrrrr]

80 gig internal + 300 gig external

[Apocalyptic Raids]

18.6, and I've used 17.4.

As one would expect, I'm looking to buy an External hdd ASAP.

[Rrrrrrr]

get the maxtor onetouch II 300 gig.

[JohnXDoe]

Or you just really like bittorrent.
Nice cover, Klown. :smash:

Nah, I think I'll need more space in a year or two, also. It's just the way things seem to be going....
80 gig internal + 300 gig external
How does that perform for you? Do you use it on a daily basis? I have an external I only use for backing up right now, but I'm sure I'll be using it for primary storage sooner or later and have a few concerns. Does it function just like your internal so far as speed and effeciency, etc....

[Ghoul Hunter]

Haha, why do you guys think you need so much space?

160 gigs? :eek:
Well, I can easily fill up 300 gigs with games/programs.

[Rrrrrrr]

The external works great, I play all my music and videos off it and run my video game ISOs from it as well. No problems whatsoever. It can get pretty hot after a while, though, so I don't leave it on 24/7.

Obviously, it can't compare to an internal in terms of speed once you start looking at the really intensive tasks, like system backups, but for what I put mine through, I can't tell a difference between it and my internal.

The average season of a TV show takes up around 4Gb, and I have full runs of Seinfeld, Curb, AD, 24, Futurama and CSI on there. I also have around a dozen feature-length movies. So I have easily filled my 250Gb HDD, with another 80Gb HD packed full of system and program files.

[Zakath]

On my gaming computer I have a 250 gig harddrive with about 150 left (I have about 20 games I think). On this computer the stock 80 gig is the only thing left that originally came with the Gateway pc from about 5 years ago. It has about 20 left.. the only thing that really takes up space on this computer is all the TV show seasons I download.

[dazmo]

I put all TV stuff on cd's

[Zakath]

I would but I don't have a dvd burner, so I just watch em then delete them. I wouldn't really rewatch episodes anyway.

[talk show host]

a measly 80 gig hardrive

I formatted a couple of weeks ago and i've only got 15 gigs left :(

[dazmo]

[Mazeppa]

80 GB HD, I have 21.3 GB left free. I look forward to getting a new computer.

[Zakath]

How many ****in CDs do you go through?

[JBJ]

anyone know how to use two internal hard drives at one time? like a dual partition or something (i don't really know anything about it)?

[REINER]

50.4/111 (120) - In my PC
216/279 (300) - External

unless you want to set up a RAID array, there's no extra work involved in setting up two SATA hard drives. IDE is a different matter though. i think.

[JBJ]

maybe someone can suggest a link or something that's explained thoroughly.

I have my default Dell 33.5gig one as my main harddrive, and a 60 gig for music and pr0n. I know, they suck, but my parents do the best they can for me :)
