TEH OMG NEW! I got my 80 gig 7200 RPM hard drive to replace my broken 60 gig, and all I have to say it W00 H00! W00 H00! Now I can do everything I always wanted to do without having space restriction! (IE, the 8 gig hard drive I WAS using until I got this one) Unfortunately, when I transfered my data, and I removed the old hard drive, I was forced to erase the new one, meaning all data I was working on or with for the past 2 weeks is now gone. But, the good news is, I saved my campaign missions on my webspce, so I should be able to leap back into action in NO TIME!

Kind of a small hard drive for a new one... last time I went to Fry's, the smallest they had was a 70gb drive. Why a normal person would ever need that much space to begin with is beyond my comprehension.

Heh, reminds me how old my 20gb drive is...watch it die now

[Taristin]

I'm 1 gig short of full on my old 20 Gigger...

My 40 is 2/3rds full too.

I have no idea what's so big on it...

[kasperl]

I have a 20GB and a 40GB in my current machine, and both are about 5 gigs from full. I filled up the 40 gigger with wave files though, before compressing them down to mp3.

My new PC will come with an 80 GB drive, and I'll put the 40GB drive along with it untill I can get funds to throw some bigger thing in.

I've got 10 gig of just mp3, and a lot more of other stuff. And there is no "big enough" drive, not if you have broadband.

I know what's taking up an enormous amount of space on my hard drive: FS2 and a large collection of RPG stuff.  Way, way too big.

[Darkage]

I got an 80GB drive and a 40GB drive.

Although i can't store any data on it. Because my motherboard and ram sticks are dead.

need a new mobo.

[BlackDove]

wow...i've got a 120gig one.....80's good

[Lonestar]

I got a 60GB and a 40GB 7200 RPM drives, one is Maxtor and the other is Western Digital. I use the space to save of music, movies, music videos, and about 20gb of web stuff. Im actually looking for more space LOL.

[Rictor]

30gb hard-drive, and I've had it for like 4 or 5 years. Man , I'm behind the times.

[Darkage]

when my new mobo arives i should order a Maxtor 200GB 8mb 133 7200rpm L.

You'd be surprised how fast that 80 gig drive will be taken up, especially if you like to put game images on your drive like me.    I have an 80 gig external drive for images and game/program patches/mods, and its almost all used up.  

That's with a 30 gig drive used for the OS, and a 60 gig drive for games.  Add to that, 120 gigs for TV shows/movies.  Yikes - lots of storage, and it disappears fast...

*lovingly strokes dual 160GB 7200rpm Hitachi/IBM SATA drives in RAID 0 array*

[.::Tin Can::.]

Oh cmon people. This was supposed to be about me, not about what everyone's hard drive was.

[Fury]

*sigh* I wish 80 Gb would be enough but no...
<-- 2x 160 GB in RAID 0 (gaming machine) + 250 Gb (server) + 160 Gb (server) + 80 Gb (secondary pc) + 80 Gb (laptop).

[Turnsky]

*pats his 120gb 7200 RPM secondary drive then pats the 40gb primary.. same speed.*

[Ryx]

See sig...

*is now pondering replacing 40Gb... *

[Taristin]

You've got a nice rig there, Ryx.

I need a processor and RAM upgrade... then maybe a bigger HDD also...

[an0n]

/me pats his 6 year old 20Gb HD.

None of thise RAID bull****. No co-location high-speed remote diskspace. Proper bloody megabytes.

You know I'm inclined to agree - I've heard so many people going "oh god, my RAID 0 array failed, I've lost it all" that I really don't want to know.

Bring on an affordable RAID 5 and I'll be interested

[Fury]

RAID 0 is for gaming and high-end multimedia, period. You're an idiot if you double the changes for HDD failure where important data is saved.
