Despite how much I like you, I hate the hell out of you right now. My rig is so outdated, and I haven't the money to upgrade it. I can't even run SH5 properly.

Yeah, Back when i was in college in the 90's, I had purchased a 6gb 5.25" HDD, for like almost $300. Cause they hadn't come out with FAT32 yet, I had to split it into 3 2 gb drives. I didn't know what to do with all that room, I actually rented out the space over the school network. $10 a month got you 100mb. I did package deals |

You survived on 120Gb I thought my previous 250Gb was small :-)
Using a one Terabyte HDD with Windows 7 installed myself. If you think that it's huge wait until you make a whole backup of your PC . I just did and it took 85Gb! I may need to buy an external HDD

I upgraded my rig with a 1TB drive about a year ago...the 250GB I originally built my rig with just became too small. I still am using it as my boot drive though, and it's chugging along just fine. After 1 year, I still have 743GB free on my 1TB drive, though it's not for lack of trying...all of my games are on it!

Just upgraded myself! When you go from 40 Gb storage to 2Tb + 1 Tb external drive, you can really spread out!
Now I've just got to find some new games that can really push "The Beast" to the limits! |

Man, I still remember when DEC came out with the first consumer type external hard drive in 1982. It had 4 mega bytes of storage!
I thought to myself, no one person could ever fill up 4mb Maybe a company computer, but not the average consumer. I mean, 4mb was about all the data that existed in the world right? My how times have changed.
