Hard drives that is

Just thought I'd post a poll to see what the average hard drive size is for people on here.
its been a while since we have had a ****ing contest to see who has the biggest and best

I currently have 3 x120GB & 2 x40GB = 440GB

I have:
1x8GB
1x60GB
1x4GB
...in my main PC.

My bandwidth conquers all though (see sig).

Nice efficient OS helps (Mac OSX

), but I don't go in for games in any big way. My biggest chunk goes on photos (about 1.5gb) and my iTunes/iPod library (about 3.5gb). I try to keep 7 or 8gb permanently empty for editing DV, but once the finished project is exported I delete it.

Only a little 120Gb here, but its what you do with it thats important (or so I'm told

)

120gb isnt bad at all, think of it like a car...
120gb probably equates to a nice top of the line road car

my 440gb equals some supercharged turbo deamon that you often see boy racers with more money than sense having.

2 x 80 Gb SATA in RAID0 on the desktop. I also have a 40Gb iPod if that counts.

10Gb C:
40Gb F - Files etc - and my iTunes library which at 27Gb is eating into this big time
100Gb G - for Video editing / DVD creation etc.
yes - this adds up to 150Gb 10Gb is unpartitioned as I was planning to dual boot the machine with W98 so I could play old Command and Conquer and Quake, but never got round to it. Need to invest in an uptodate partition magic or similar to reclaim it - unless I can do this through the OS?

Towny seems to prove that you can do this all in 20Gb though!

I now have 440gb in my work machine, 20 gig on my laptop and 800gb on my file/web/application server. If you want cheap 120 meg 7200rpm drives, look on aria, they're going for around 50 quid!
