How much storage do you have on your main home PC?

[mesthead21]

2.5 TB as of right now

 

[Firsttime]

200GB for Boot and Apps
500GB for Games and Media
80GB for rarely accessed media

I'd say I use my old cheap laptop more than my desktop. 40GB.

Desktop is around 320GB. I use maybe 30 gigs of that, just because of all the Steam deals lately. I don't download stuff.

What do you guys store that takes up so much space?

 

[rudeguy]

1.5tb on the desktop and I just upgraded the lappy to 250 gigs.

Desktop is getting kinda full again (my son learned how to make Garry's Mod movies)

Maybe I should just throw 10tb in and be done for a couple years?

 

[TheKub]

In my WHS
2x 200Gb
1x 320Gb
2x 640Gb
3x 1Tb

~5Tb (4657Gb after formating)

I have a 2TB Hitachi drive on my desk. Just waiting to get motivated enough to drag the server out jockey around data and drives (case is full). That will put me in the 6-7 range.

500gb on my Mac laptop. 580gb on my desktop. Been wanting to upgrade the latter to add an additional 1tb or a faster OS drive. Not a priority though.

 

[PrinceofWands]

My pcs have between 75 and 120GBs. My file server, however, has 4.1TBs.

 

[Tremulant]

2x1TB, so I chose 2-3TB.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Betwene 6 and 7 TB in my server.

my "main home pc" has like a lot less with my velociraptor 300 and then a couple of 1.5tb disks...

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

My system with the largest amount of storage is my HTPC/Server. It has 3x 1 TB drives in currently (adding another soon though), a 500 gb PATA, a 120 GB PATA system drive, and a 500 gb SATA. Also has an external 500 gb and external 250 gb. So in total it has 4.87 TB's.

 

[ViviTheMage]

9x1TB drives 6 in a raid 1, 1 as OS, 1 as hot spare

 

[olds]

500 + 120 +40 = 660

 

[syrillus]

I have 1.32TB on my main machine, plus another 1TB sitting on my desk waiting for me to stop being lazy and start setting up my file server.

EDIT: 1.32TB, not 1.32GB

 

[lxskllr]

About 1tb. I eventually want to go with smaller drives on the workstations, and setup a server to keep the data centralized. A 120gb-160gb SSD would be perfect for the workstations, and I'm hoping the technology matures nicely over the coming year.

 

[vshah]

oops, dp

 

[vshah]

main pc: 80gb ssd system + 1Tb data, 500gb external
whs: 2x 1.5tb data, 320gb system

4900 GB total

1.5tb on the desktop and I just upgraded the lappy to 250 gigs.

Desktop is getting kinda full again (my son learned how to make Garry's Mod movies)

Maybe I should just throw 10tb in and be done for a couple years?

not cost effective, price will probably come down by the time you actually need the capacity


edit: sorry for the DP

 

[child of wonder]

1TB Office PC, 4TB File server, 1TB external HDD on FS for backups.
