Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

I'm afraid so, all full of video and photo's. I keep the original footage and all the various edited stages as well as the final output.

I'm on the look out for some 500Gb drives at the moment, they seem to be the current price/size sweet spot.

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

80 GB drive in my PC

40 GB in the other family PC.

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

First hard drive I ever used was in an ancient IBM XT - it was 10MB capacity, about the size of a CDROM drive & weighed over a kilo.

Now I have 160GB + 500GB in my tower & 300GB on an external USB drive.

But probably the most amazing thing, compared to that ancient 10MB brick, is my Gizmo Jr 1GB stick - 34 x 7 x 2mm, but 100 times the capacity ....

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

Only 80 GB

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

i have 140gb in main machine (2 partitions)

in server / download machine i have a small 20 GB boot drive
i then have a download disk of 140 GB and a storage/backup drive of about 100GB

I also have a load of other hard drives floating around but not used as i learnt hard drives are crap and will die on you regardless of what u do so for the last 5 years i download something its then used then deleted (as u can always get it again if needed) if i want to keep it i store it on a DVD.

now all i need is someone to invent a super high storage dvd before all the dvd's i burnt over the years stop working :)

I will buy a NAS next year having looked into them for home use they have a lot of nice features they are adding so im keeping my eye on it.

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

You could always reconfigure that server/back up machine with freeNAS:)

4x 2GB SD cards

Under 1TB i think

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

why???

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

160 GB Maxtor boot up disc about 2 thirds empty.160 GB SATA HD 130 GB free space.250 GB Freecom USB external HD ,166GB still free.

I go through and get ruthless about what I've got stored on a much more regular basis than I used to.Some of my rendered pictures can be on average 2MB and on some projects I can render up to around 20 times at each different stage and save each stage of a scene about the same number of times at increasing sizes of around 200 MB.This can result in one project file being around 6/7 GB..that was my poppy tribute..and I'd better get pruning soon or all that unused space will be hopeless to prune later in terms of time.

:)

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

Someone has to store the whole of the Internet... :D

Oops forgot my 250gb WD Drive that I keep in bag!

About 3.7tb if I add them up right!

Not including old PC's sat in garage!

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

Personally I'd prefer a linux distro (ubuntu,debian,centos.etc) with webmin installed depending on the hardware.

Simply because although Freenas is great as a NAS linux is more expandable in terms of what else it can do at the same time, and if you're going to have a pc running as a server why not have it do more than just store your files.

firefly and jinzora are always worth having, ;)

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

No idea :)

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

When you put HD tv shows/movies into that, then that space is actually kinda small :p:

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

6TB kinda small?

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

you can never have enough storage space...

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

When it comes to HD movies/tv shows (remember one 1080p ep runs into the 20gb range) then yes, 6TB is kinda small.

(Christmas is coming - need/want an external hdd (350 - 400GB) and possibly to put my two old hdds from my old comp into a caddy/external box and possibly put an 80Gb hdd in the old pc and add a 2nd HDD into the other tower pc to bring it up to 200GB (want 120GB in it - ideally) and yeah.. thats sooo not gonna happen!)

I'll prolly just end up putting another gig of ram in the lappy *lol* :D

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

My son has just reminded me that not only do I have 25GB in my PC I also have :-

1GB in my iPod shuffle and 512mb in my camera. Wow.

Don't suppose I'm beating anyone yet? :D

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

Main 'business' pc 1 x 120Gb + 1 x 250Gb.
Gaming rig: 120Gb + 80Gb.
NAS box: 120Gb
caddy backup: 160Gb
mp3 caddy backup: 40Gb
Laptop: 80Gb.

I guess just under 1 Tb in total of which probably 50% is used.

Mind you, with the size of recent games I guess that's gonna change real soon..

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

Only have 2 HDD's now, both SATA and both Samsungs. OS HD is 80GB and storage HD is 320GB.

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

But isn't 3.5" the usual size? :tiptoe:

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

Some laptop users find they only have 2.5" ones. :Yikes:
I heard in the past you could get 8" ones but they were floppy. :shocked:

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

its going to be interesting when 1TB comes standard.

SATA: 1x Samsung 80GB, 1x WD 500GB

1x 160GB IDE, however ive recently broken that due to a fit of rage.

I plan on purchasing about 2TB more of HDD's in the near future, and probably a cheap one for a dedicated pagefile.

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

I have 1.7TB of disk space at the moment (but im 250gb down at the moment because I had a drive fail).

Over 20TBs, But no matter how much I have it's never enough.

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

Yeah I got 28 TB mechanical drives sat with archive stuff in a draw. I access them via a Sata to USB Dock on the odd occasion I need it. I did intend to build a NAS but leccy prices being what they are have put me off

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

I have 120GB SSD and 2x either 1 or 2TB HDDs and can't be arsed to switch on the rarely used PC to find out.

I used to download all the software I wanted and music and video but I now stream everything with Amazon Prime and Netflix legally and everything else I stream via the Android TeaTV app so I really have no use for storage now.

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

Active

• 512GB on Laptop 1
• 256GB on Laptop 2
• 2.5TB on Mac Studio
• 3TB in total on Windows Desktop (2x 512GB in RAID0 for OS and apps, 2x 1TB for local data in RAID0)
• 8TB in Nas for media (4x 2TB, 8TB usable - no redundancy)
• 12TB in Nas for media, backups and Time Machine(4x 3TB, 9TB usable due to parity)
• 120GB in HTPC for OS and apps only
• 2TB in Cloudkey Gen 2

All OS / app drives are SSD/nvme
All data drives are spinners except Cloudkey, which is also SSD

Inactive

• 12TB to 14TB split over several drives sat in a drawer

More space than I could ever use to be honest. Might set up a TrueNAS box at some point, but I don't really need to. It would only be for sh*ts and giggles.

Wow some of you have wicked amounts -- And still fill it all up??

God bless ya :)

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

It's easy to fill up I'm sure when someone uses modern digital media, like a copy of a Blu-ray, something that's not in your preferred 4:3 blurred evision format on a cranky old CRT with terrible picture and bad sound. :D

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

nowhere near. But I spent many years when I first got into computers, being frugal with drive space due to the cost of it. I'm now at a point in life where I don't need to worry about buying a drive as and when it's needed and I no longer need to fret about removing or archiving to free up room. I absolutely won't use up what I have at this point, but as formats and requirements change over time, I'm sure what is in my home now will be on phones in 15 years...

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

Well, COD:MW2 requires 125GB to install on a PC, then around 75GB ongoing…

Re: How much Hard drive space?
 

Adding up my drives I have just under 27 TB, atm about 21 TB is in use.
