    I think my sig is up-to-date: 1.2TB (actual) of hd space on this machine (like 4% free) + 1G RAM, & a 250 (nominal) in my spare system w/.5G RAM. The RAID is full, and so are all the drive bays, except 1 external 5.25".

    In my primary computer I have one (1) 80GB for OS and programs. The slave on that IDE channel one is a single 300GB Maxtor with 16MB of cache.

    On my third IDE channel I have two (2) 300GB Maxtors with 16MB of cache on each. I also have two (2) 200GB Seagate HD contected to my computer via USB 2.0. All total I have 1380GB's of Hard Drive space.

    Note: On IDE 2, I have a DVD Burner and a DVD-ROM connected and I also have two Plextor PX-716SA (Serial ATA) DVD burners connected via the SATA interface on my motherboard

    well, a terabyte is 1,000 gigs, and u need the space for bragging rights! Duh. Not really. I am always copying dvds for watching later on my pc. Kids get em and I can't find the damn things when I'm ready to watch em. Use DVD Decryptor. Then i dump em.

    80 Samsung
    30 Maxtor

    I've got several 8GB and 6GB laying around. Thought about installing them but figured they'd create more heat than they were worth. :)

    Meh, ive got

    3X 40Gb Maxtor Hard Drives

    How They Are Setup:

    2X IDE ATA 133 Connected Via Motherboard
    1X IDE ATA 133 Connected Via USB 2.0 External Storage System.

    The USB 2.0 seems to be quick enough, untill i move from ATA to SATA...
