How many gigs does your computer have?

Hey Auslander I see that now you are AfterDawn Addict congrad.

 

@Auslander
Sorry about that.

 

thanks, rihgt!

don't be, uniique...i still found it! XD

 

Cool. So what do you think?

 

profiles would be cool.

 

1.5 TB, (yeah that is Terra Bytes) on my main computer & 500 Gigs on my backup, I have lots of stuff to store & I usually access most of it during any given month.

 

40 primary and 60 slave

 

Thermaltake XaserIII w/480 PSU, Asus A8V Deluxe mobo, AMDXP 64 3200+, 1gb Ultra DDR PC3200,(4)Maxtor 160gb Diamondmax+9, Asus V9520 VS 128 mb DDR video card,Sony DVD rom, NEC ND-3520A.

I guess that's 640GB total.

 

500g
200 for games and 300 for movies...

 

HDDs:           [Used]   [Free]   [Size]
                     (C   20.2GB   9.09GB  29.29GB (NTFS)
(E  24.01GB  162.3GB 186.31GB (NTFS)
(F  71.04GB  14.16GB   85.2GB (NTFS)
         (G 227.02GB   5.87GB 232.88GB (NTFS)
         (H 218.44GB  15.32GB 233.76GB (NTFS)
Total:        560.68GB 206.76GB 767.44GB

 

On my gaming rig I have 2x Maxtor 300Gb SATA HDs RAID-0 with 16MB cache plus my external USB2/Firewire Maxtor 200Gb. TOTAL = 800Gb

On my work PC, I have 2x Western Digital Caviar 200Gb IDE HDs with 2MB cache. TOTAL = 400Gb

I have 2x 40Gb just lying around because they're too slow for Photoshop on work PC. I also have a 20Gb & 6Gb with some really old games on them. TOTAL = 106Gb

TOTAL = 1.306Tb

I might even get one of those FireWire Extreme 800 1Tb external HDs, only if I could find a shop that sells 800Mb Firewire PCI cards. By the way, I edit a lot of DV movies @ 8-9Mbps so this takes up huge amounts of room very easily. So does every single digitised/digital photo took since I was born and the rest of the family & friends.

 

I'm useing less than 24g though.

 

i currently have 320Gigs of space in my PC but i could have a up2 3 terabytes (2 x 500 g SATA 4 x 500 g IDE) possibly even more if i bought some extra SATA or IDE controllers

 

Hi SypherTek, most people who have vasts amounts of storage - over 800Gb+ - just use the majority of it for storage like I do. Even when I use my 2x 300Gb SATA drives, I have over 65% free space on my 2 partitions per drive.

The best thing I bought was my 200Gb Maxtor external USB2/FireWire HD because how much I ever put on there, it won't slow my system down and I can take it to friends&families houses and hook it up to their PC and show them my DV videos & photos. This saves me time and money of making DVD/CD discs when I can just take the whole thing around. They can then copy a selection of interesting photos and keep them to develop. By the way - I'm a very keen amatuer photographer

It's good that people's attitude's are changing now towards HD space and taking a realistic look at how they think they'll use a PC over the coming years, and prepare in advance for that by making sure they aren't caught short by undermining the potential a PC has now thesedays and making sure there is enough space for all those games!!

The standard HD for new PC's is 200Gb. This is the sweet spot if your plannning on addind additional storage because the price is so low.

 

360G here need more though
