4 x 160 GB Wish I had more

100 gb

at my main pc 1 x 120 and 1 x 60

4x40GB in RAID 01
That makes 80GB usable space. I can use an upgrade :winkwink:

whats RAID exactly? is it an alternative to IDE?

4 120 gigs in one machine, a 40 in another, and a bunch more 120s in another machine.

It are normal IDE drives but setup like this:
2 drives are striped, which means if you read/write a file, it's split up between the 2 drives, which makes it 2 times as fast (RAID 0).
These 2 drives are also mirrored (exact copies), so 2 drives have to fail before I loose any data (RAID 1).

Two 200GB IDE each one.

40gb in my laptop and an 80 and 120 in my desktop

Are you happy with the speed that your 15K rpm SCSI is opening programs ?

I've got a 120Gig 7200rpm HD with 8MB cache but I'm still not happy with the speed its opening my applications. When I asked about a 15Krpm SCSI I was told they can burn out very fast and are a bit of a hassle to setup. Whats your experience ? Would I notice a sizable difference in application speed if I had a 15K rpm SCSI drive for my applications ?

50 tb :glugglug

1x 160 gb ( over 3 disks )
1x extern of 400 gb
1x 40 gb on laptop

45 gigs.

Plenty for now.

Remember when 10 gigs sounded like a ton of drive space?

I remember when 1Gb was plenty of space when I was stuck with my 120Mb HD. I had to delete some windows95 system files because I was running out of space, apparently didnt erase any critical ones and the OS still ran. hehe

36gb WD Raptor 10k rpm for the OS
120gb WD storage drive
200gb WD storage drive
= 356gb

I started out on a 386 with less than a gig of drivespace. It was a total dinosaur, but damn I learned a lot with it.

Ended up selling it to a technical school for fifty bucks. :1orglaugh

the WD Raptor 10K rpm, thats not an IDE harddrive is it?

pc1: 120gb + 80 gb
pc2: 80gb

anyone else have trouble with the 200 gig western digital drives?

I'm on my third one *crosses fingers*

2 x 160gb
1 x 200gb

... I've got about 3gb free in total :feels-hot

If you have a hard drive cooling unit, you should be fine. With any of the faster 10-15K RPM drives, it's best to have a cooling unit, it'll DEFINATELY add live to your hard drive. I bought a Vantec Vortex and it does a wonderful job -

The only downfall about that model is that you have to manually turn it on with your system, however, it's second nature to turn it on right after I hit the power button.

On my video comp : 2x 120gb sata

I have 60 GB but i have an extensive library of cds But I am doing a system upgrade soon and i'll have top of the line and a terrabyte of space.

20 gigs and I am only using 5 gig of that

I use 80 GB Seagate Baraccuda harddrives.

But RAID systems are quite nice for storage information.
