Re: How much Hard drive space?

Still the same as last time:
IDE: 1x WD 40GB
SATA: 1x Samsung 80GB, 1x WD 500GB
However, I do now have a new 640GB WD, which I'll be putting in instead [only have 2 SATA ports on current mobo] of the Samsung. [when I get round to it.]

Re: How much Hard drive space?

I have 8 Sata ports and two e-SATA ports.

1x 320GB SATA (1x 200GB partition and 1x 120GB partition, with the latter being full, used for music, Films, ISO's, Drivers etc)
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.

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.

  • 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

  • 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.
