Edit: if you must know, that folder is currently fifteen gigs and rising.
Edit: And contains four versions for "Furieux.exe" a hard drive wiping virus a friend of mine coded

[Kosh]

I've filled up my 30 GB external HDD and most of my 40 GB laptop HDD.

[Flipside]

I have well in excess of 100 Gigs of audio samples and synths all on a dedicated drive. It's getting full as well

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Up to around a terabyte myself.  Of course I've been collecting junk since 1980. 

[Daniel P]

Don't worry I just got 36 GB and it almost filled up.

[Nuclear1]

I mock your 15 gig Stuff folder with my 56 gig own.

B, C, and Y are all the same drive, just seperate partitions. Y is my linux drive, B/C are both vista

E and G were former Western Digital external drives i tore apart and put into my desktop, E being partially network shared and mapped (being Z)

N is a dedicated network backup drive


I've got backups from days of olde though after i got tired of losing my data forever, hence the multitude of space. I also get a crazy discount at work on hard drives...

the removable drives are a card reader array, though its not uncommon to see L-X be some varying amount of flash drives (and yes i have hit that hard cap of single drive letters before doing some insane flash drive work)...


TL;DR: approx 862.52gb

[FUBAR-BDHR]

I keep everything I can on my servers.  There's about another 700gig of space on FUBAR5 that I haven't allocated to a volume yet.  All of those server volumes are mirrored as well.

Someone likes their stats...and exactly what were you doing in Goldwave while playing EVE (whatever that is)? By the way that Vista looks cool - does it use up tonnes of memory though?

[Colonol Dekker]

Welkl i just installe devery game i own from dos 2.0 games upto RA3

There's a fair bit of music on it too, i don't use servers, i have a stack of RW-DVD's which are easier to get to when my nets off-line


quick note desktop/stuff folders FREAKIN RULE

i like to multitask


and it actually uses very little memory on its own, unnoticeable compared to normal applications

[KewlToyZ]

It uses more memory but manages it better if that makes sense.
I've gotten used to Ultimate and actually like it better than XP now.

Folder structure changes take quite a bit of getting used to and there are more confusing temporary spaces.
But I like the searchbox integration and it is pretty fast.

I may have to Build an i7-core with DDR3 in a few months just cause they are quick.

[Hippo]

the start menu search is frankly amazing

[JGZinv]

< - - already uses 2 TB in storage.

Really want to get a NAS with another 2 TB....

What the heck do you use for backups?   

[Excalibur]

4TB megadrives? How do you use up 2000GB?

Damn you. I wish i had or could afford a Widow, a Rohk, a Nighthawk, a handful of raptors, and the rest of the crap i know you have..
My only 'spensive stuff is a phoenix and a moros.

[Hippo]

thats only my rigged ships i haven't taken time to fly out

[Fury]

It amazes me how some of you are able to horde up stuff you're unlikely to ever use again. The stuff that I have backed up only amounts to less than 200MB. The rest I either have no use for or I can download them again should I need to.

4TB megadrives? How do you use up 2000GB?

Really my idea of a "megadrive" doesn't involve TBs.

But as to the question, I've been keeping stuff since I started computing around '95.
Plus I've had like 8 computers over that period of time. 3 of which are currently active.
I couldn't count how many people I've helped because I had some old program version from before
they started charging or limiting features... or some old DOS tool like Norton Commander around.

I do a bunch of stuff with Photoshop... make movie theater sized posters. One of those can eat 400~700MB a pop.
Mostly I use externals and a tiny little old 38GB drive in my laptop.... so there ya go.
If I had the power for games, I'd need even more space... probably another TB at least.
