Yes this is not the first time this has been asked but I thought it would be fun to do it again seeing how cheap drives are now. For the purposes of this poll here are the rules for counting storage:


  1. If you have multiple PCs or MACs at home don't add them together. Just choose the one with the most storage. You may mention how much you have in total by replying to the thread
  2. RAID arrays count NO MATTER the type of array. Just add up the capacity of all the drives in the array.
  3. External drives count but only if they are in use and attached to the home PC that you are counting
  4. Laptops don't count. Again look at #1, just choose the single computer that has the most storage in your home, don't add them all together.
  5. This is just your HOME PC.
NOTE: Shit made a bit of a boo boo there. The poll options are left side inclusive, right side exclusive. So 2-3 TB means 2-2.9999999 TB But NOT 3. So if you have exactly 3 choose 3-4TB.

I now have 2TB after installing the iomega 1TB external drive I got for Christmas. I have another computer sitting besides me here that is not in use that I think has another 500 GB in it.

150GB Raptor
500GB Seagate
1TB external

1.650TB so I chose 1-2TB.

I also have a brand new 750GB WD drive sitting on my desk. Contemplating what to do with it.
And I ordered the WD 1.5TB external from the Dell deal in HD which should be here at the end of the month.

Main and Linux at 1.32TB each.
Have a 1 TB sitting on my desk I use as an external backup for the main every weekend. Just don't have the room in my case to install it (only have 3 sata power connectors which are all used).

your raid definition sucks. having 3x1tb drives in RAID5 = 2TB of storage.
