How Big Is Your...

40GB internal, 160GB Firewire external

[Conquest10]

8 gig primary, 120 gig secondary.

80 gb & 120 gb, I remeber my first "gb" HD, a whopping 1.2 gb of which I said "I'll never use that much space !" . . . .

I have two 40s to make an 80gig RAID, plus two more 120's that are seperate. Total is 320Gig.

SCSI: 18 + 9
IDE: 30 +30
firewire: 40

I really need to replace all of them in favor of a big and fast SATA.

Before I bought this 30 gig, I had 5 drives.... that totaled 1.5 gigs! hahaha Yep, I was a poor mo'fo and I used what I could dig up. 3 500 meg IDE and 2 500 meg SCSI. Now I'm tapped out on this 30 with just enuff room to rip 2 DVDs to HD. I feel an upgrade coming soon! :P

160 GIG for master with 2 OS's. 40 GIG for capture(I like it that way because after I'm done editing and converting, I just reformat and never worry about fragmentation).

The biggest computer I got is 80 Gig + 20 Gig. A total of 100 Gig.

I was supposed to order a new hard drive of 120 gig for videos and music and not yet done.

tenders, tapewurm... lol... now that takes me back... getting a 3gb upgrade for the 486 and (after applying a motherboard patch!) slowly watching the space count down with all the unexpected additions.. mostly games!
getting a used 286 from a friend and thrilling at how much stuff you can cram into a doublespaced 40mb drive (yes, MEGAbytes) when you have to limit it to apps that can run within 2.5mb RAM, and a 12mhz 16 bit chip (no virtual memory!)... building - and later successfully selling - a second 486 with scrap bits and a 170mb drive 'borrowed' from school, that somehow never got filled, despite making a photo-heavy summer-project report on the things (in MSWorks!)... ah, the fun you can have with teeny drives. Sort of.
Jeez, makes me think.. all the things that big old breeze-block of a 286 did.. could probably do them all quite happily with a high-rez palm pilot and a 64mb memory card now

Thayne, where do you find the space, electricity supply, and cooling power for an 11-disc setup?? Woah.

A little question: how big do laptop hard discs get these days? I stopped by a Sony Centre last week and my eye was caught by the new compact Vaio (cased in Regrettable White).. but it only comes with a 30gb disc and 256mb RAM. On almost all the other points (including memory speed) it whips my desktop so I'd be happy to junk the ol' minitower for such a dinky unit (still with external mouse/kb/VGA connections, too) if the internal disc could be upped to at least three figures.

I'm thinking about getting one more 120 just for extra space, you can never have too much free space.

Me too and I got the same problem as never enough space. I was supposed to get a new 120 gig HD and not done yet.
