1.5TB on this PC (3x 500GB) sat on top of the PC i have a 120, 160 and 200GB IDE drives from my old PC, which will be going into my server PC when i stop being lazy and actually move them there server PC has 160GB (2x80GB) laptop has 60GB brother's PC has 160GB parent's PC has 80GB grand total nearly 2.5TB
total or on my computer? just bought a 500GB for my new build. and have a 500GB external for backup, 250GB on my old computer with 30GB + 40GB on my very old computer. total: 1.3TB. why would people need so much storage anyway? 500GB for games + a bit of video editing + music is more than enough.
> For someone editing HD video that's a perfect storage setup to have. Assuming he has backups of course. What I have is the EDLs and the ability to recapture it all from video tape. Otherwise yes. Uncompressed 1080p requires quite silly amounts of space. Phil
main computer = 2x 36 GB Raptors in raid 0 + 1x 400 GB (part of the 400 GB is a backup partition for the raptors though) 2nd computer = 1x 160 GB 3rd computer = 1x 750 GB (recently bought hdd and no where near full yet)
I feel inadequte 200GB for OS + main storage 10GB for important backup files "just in case" as it's no good for anything else. CC
I have not got enough anyone got any hdds going cheap (mine tend to go whirl whirl bang crack rattle rattle screech....then silence forever).......
Oh good game File Server 2 x 120GB 8 x 300GB (RAID 5) 1 x 300GB Main Desktop 1 x 150GB (Raptor) 1 x 74GB (Raptor) 1 x 32GB (Raptor) HTPC 1 1 x 20GB 1 x 80GB HTPC 2 1 x 150GB (Raptor) Laptop 1 x 30GB External 1 x 300GB (Those are just the drives in use... forget dead laptops, ipods or computers in cupboards)
Ooh let me try. Main - 2 x raptor 150's in R-0, considering upgrade to 15k sas scsi after seeing a workstation at work boot up with one. Second - 1 x raptor 36, two 320 in R-0 Third - 1 x raptor 36, 120gb ide Fourth - 120 gb 8 x 320 gb usb external (not all connected) 1 x 1TB networked mybook two 120gb notebook externals Considering another 1tb, or even the new 1.5 tb network mybooks, and converting it to R-1.
I have a 500gb storage drive and I just ordered a 74gb Raptor for windows. Soon to be getting another 500gb drive as well and RAID them.
About the 6 TB mark. Got 5 TB in the HTPC...High-Def movies take up a *lot* of space and a modest 2 x 500Gb in this PC. My first HD was 20MB, way back in the AMiGA days...had a A590 controller with a 20Mb Conner drive.
Wow, even I don't know (until I add below)...but it's a lot Quad G5 400GB 1500GB RAID Dual G4 160GB 160GB MBPro 80GB Mac Mini 80GB 1500GB RAID (NAS) 1500GB RAID (backups) Athlon X2 4400+ 500GB RAID P4 2.4 80GB 20GB P4 2.53 120GB P4 1.4 120GB P4 2.6 160GB External 75GB 120GB 160GB 320GB 750GB Loose (archives/backups) 120GB WD 250GB (14 Maxtor + 8 Hitachi)=5500GB 300GB (2 Maxtor + 10 Seagate)=3600GB Grand total 17025GB (17.025Terabytes) Holy smokes! That shocks even me! Careyd Addendum: What if we include storage in other devices such as digital cameras, iPods, phones, USB sticks, etc? If so I'd have another 100GB or so.
