Now that drive barely contains more than my OS

I have a 5Mb (megabyte) full height 5.25" clunker that was given to me for shock value.

It would have cost literally thousands when it was purchased.

quite amazing.. you all must be doing heavy duty video stuff..

Im always dissapointed 40gig IDE's are hard to get so i settle with 80.. ive never used more than 20 gigs storage.. cant imagine the need for 100's..

The bigger the disk the bigger the chance something will fuck

I have a 750 gb harddrive, not installed though, have 660 gigs of storage in my system at the moment, going to add the 750 to it soon, I download lots of movies and episodes of stuff like Aqua Teen HUnger Force and Drawn Together

I backed up my digital photo dir today and it was 237Gb. That's only about 20,000 images although I do save in RAW format which is larger (up to 20Mb per image). I can't imagine the amount of storage that volume content providers must go through...

Raw miniDV footage also consumes about 13Gb per hour

If one goes bad i just swap it out and it will mirror off the other. it does cut the space in half but i won't lose anything.

that is a realy good thing to know. One thing I am needing 2 know!
