    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.

    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.
