Re: How much Hard drive space?

meh...

2x40Gb in old PC
80Gb in other tower PC
80Gb in mac mini
120Gb in laptop

Several memory cards ranging from a measly 32mb to 512mb....

pathetic... lol... thanks for showing me up guys

(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*

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..

Soon to purchase 500GB USB Drive for backups

Amazing, isn't it - 10 years ago that amount of disk would have been corporate storage.
Shall we get down to what this is really about every one?

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