How can you use 1 terrabyte ( see I can't even spell it becaue it's so huge) of disk space?

I could fill it up in 2 weeks, if I had that much

I format my PC every couple of months now, need more disk space

I currently have 402 programs waiting to be watched on TV. I probably have actually watched about 1/3rd of them.

Holy crap. It's been almost three years and I'm only now getting space issues with my 40GB (Gigabyte with a "G") disk. :o

I would die before I filled up 1TB...

I have a 40Gb hard drive on my computer and it's still half empty! I do remember my dad buying his first external hard drive (for almost $800) and saying he couldn't seeing the day when he filled it up:D I guess 35 Mb seemed so big then!:lol:

Too busy to watch them. While talking occasionally right here, I have done the impossible - I have created a Dire Straits Brothers in Arms compression in 96 khz 24 bit sample rate. I have very high resolution audio in this house, but getting it into an alternate format has been a crazy task. I finially have it!!! Woo Hoo!! :D:D:D :up::up:

I used a near lossless ogg (specifically programed as a gap filler between FLAC and normal OGG) for the compression. That one song started out life as an MLP in the 700 MB range (Yes, you are reading that right - 1 track off a CD would fill up an 'entire' CD.). I now have compressed it to 16 MB with near perfect reproduction. I will have to put this on my mains downstairs. They are massive speakers (About 150+ lbs each) that reproduce quality in amazing detail. Only then will I truely hear the flaws.

Now here is the funny part - my 96 khz / 24 bit version in its compressed format will sound better than those of you that bought this CD! :D :p :lol:

500gb hd here with 283gb to spare:yep:

Just the games i always play are on 4 all up, rest is apps/usual software MS office etc., some music, a folder with all the DL mods.

When i use to run fraps i didn't know the gameplay movies i would take were so large when i checked the files they added up to 22 gigs of the stuff so dont use as much. Gone back to camtasia studio.

A 500g will last me a while

Thank you Lord. Until now, everyone looked at me in a wrong way, when I told them, that my almost 1TB capacity is not enough. Finally people who understand.

As a European, I can tell you, that you can get great euro per GB in Metro (http://www.metro.at/english/pages/home.cfm). A few months ago, it was 75 euro for an external 500GB disk. A few week ago, the same price got you a 750GB external disk. Too bad, they're a bit too far from where I live, so I have to make due for now, with my 1TB.
