You can never have enough Hard Drive space

SUBMAN1 · 08-06-08, 05:15 PM

I have over 1 TB available to this machine, yet I only have 9 GB free!!! Ughhh! Anyone seen any good deals on hard drives lately?

There's about 3-4TB of storage in this house, I keep meaning to get some sort of network going. Bah, another day.

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

Video takes a lot. Figure on average about 1.33 GB per 30 min of video.

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

What you complaining about? Bloody heck the answer is simple, get some frosty beers out the fridge send the wife packing some where put your feet up and start watching them, problem solved.

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

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

I guess 35 Mb seemed so big then!

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!!

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.

Not sure how good these prices are compared to what you've seen already...

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!

:p

500gb hd here with 283gb to spare

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
