Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

I just swapped out a couple 300gb hdd's with a couple 1.5tb platters in my main rig. There's two more 200gb platters and another pair of 300gb platters in that machine for a total of 4tb now. I think that should do for awhile.
I did it because, as ridiculous as it sounds, 1.6tb was never enough.
I use the second drives of the same position as backups, in case one of my drives flakes.
The reason I mention this is that I have the same problem with my computer as my cigars. Never enough space.
How many gigs in your rig?

320 GB. :r

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

80gb. My Sony Viao I bought in 2000. It was a sweet computer for its time. I decided I would not replace it until it breaks. It just refuses to quit.

Scott - What do you need all the memory for? Games, Business?

In 10 years I have filled about 25gb of my 80 and it is mostly just music....

570GB. 4.6 TB??? Scott...brother, the first step is admittting that you have a problem. :r :r

That must be one impressive X-rated movie collection...

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

The largest she male **** collection on the East Coast, I hear. :D

Scott has realized that a James Bond style uber-villain needs uber computing power. Nothing to see here, move along.

I keep tons of music and tons of movies for my iphone. Initially it was gobs of movies for all the ipods.
I have most movies in full dvd rip, then in divx .avi, then in .mp4.
That way I can get 5 or 6 movies on one dvd, and have them all transcoded for the ipods and iphones.
That takes up an incredible amount of space, about 5 or 6gb per movie.
With the advent of bluray, I'm really gonna be in big trouble. :D

250 GB on my laptop, 2 TB on my WHS.

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

I use a 1TB external for back up's and buying 4TB external to copy music from a friend when I go to visit him next month.

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

Just 1TB locally...and I manage about 35TB of MySQL db's at work.

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

Wow.

I've got a whole 140 GB, of which I've used a whopping 26 GB. :r

I think I have at least double that on the notebook though. The PC is getting up there in age. ;)

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

256 MB.Thats just how I roll.

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

2 tb

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

I have 4.something TB but it is setup in raid so I only really have 2TB of storage...I need more. Doing photography eats up storage...plus I rip a copy of all my DVD's when I get them...my kids are always scratching or losing my stuff!

That's basically my same situation, Kirk. I can't even begin to tell how much space is tied up with photos and .png files and half finished and duplicate projects. If I just threw away half the stuff, I'd be in good shape. That'd take time, though. :)

Currently have 500GB internal 500GB external and building a 4TB NAS to work with my Desktop and my Media Center

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

200gb or so in my laptop and a 1TB external I use for backups and some storage.

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

Currently 1.2TB in my desktop, but planning to change it. I have space for 2 more drives in there so I would like to stick in two 10k RPM drives to run my OS and apps and up my current drives to 1TB each, but truth be told it's all overkill for me. I should be fine for what I do for at least the next couple years because I use an external SATA drive dock as additional storage.

Re: Storage overkill. How many gigs you got?
 

80 gigs.....but with all 3 of my hard drives combined I have 240 gigs.
