Added another terabyte of HD space today....
 

Just picked up 5 new 200GB drives and am formatting them now.

Video storage made easy. :glugglug

Post that pic of the tower with like 9 hard drives.. i think it was you thatposted it a while back

not quite. ;)

almost there though sexy.

"A unit of computer memory or data storage capacity equal to 1,024 gigabytes."

:thumbsup

i didnt know it was over 1000 till i looked it up :1orglaugh

dopesnt make sense itf its a trillion bytes, why the extra 24? no clue...

Sweet! HD space just continues to get more discounted. Did you see the new 400GB hard drives coming out?

Digital media hogs can celebrate. A new, whopping 400-gigabyte hard drive from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies can store up to 400 hours of standard television programming, 45 hours of high-definition programming or more than 6,500 hours of digital music

That's AMP's tower. Mine are all in Mobile Racks so I can lock them in the vault when I am out of town.

got a pic of them? or is it classified info?

That's 2 of them......You want them all side by side or something? Is this another test to see if I am full of shit?

what did they run you? I havent picked up a new drive in 6 months.

Nice addition Aaron, what size power supply you pushing all the drives off? Did you have to upgrade it?

For those of you not quite bright enough, he's obviously not running them all at the same time but swapping them out when needed.

looks like he only uses 1 at a time

that mobile rack system looks handy

heaven forbid some people actually run that many drives at once, it's an honest question.

why didya waste money and space on 200gigs? When you can get 300's.

and I thought I was cool with 180gb :(

I'm guessing the cost per GB on the 200's are a lot less than the cost per GB on the 300's!

It makes sense if you count in binary.

Cool. Now you have a place to store all those gay scat videos I send you.

time to switch to some EMC units:

Daaaaaamn Gina.

Exactly. I bought two 160gb SATA drives because they were the lowest cost per gig drive on the market.

I bought one of those the other day for the same reason.

Yeah genius thanks for setting me straight since you're the one asking the stupid question and you backed it up with a pic of your own setup. You got me.

:1orglaugh

something to do with the binary system. 8 bits in a byte... example 10101110 is a byte. so 128 bit *8 is 1024 and its just a multiple of that.

Isn't my setup, thanks. I guess I should go crawl back into my shell now, I'll never be able to look at my peers without shame now that the almighty Digipimp laid a smackdown on me.

Jact......Don't get your panties in a wad just because you overlooked the obvious this time.

It happens to the best of us.

Should'a checked the domain those pics are hosted on :glugglug

Actually, I'll admit I didn't scroll past the first post so I didn't even see how you had them setup in the pics. My bad. :glugglug

Are you going to run Raid across the drives?

Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu jackasssssss!!!!!!!!

Aaron share some pics, hardware gives me wood.

This thread is yet another example of how stupid some of you mother fuckers are.

Please.....Carry on. :thumbsup

damn that nice...i hate the noise of my comp ..too many hdd's and fans cooling them

raid (mirror) is the way to go..a couple of my hdd's of gone up in smoke

I understand the cost per gig is alot higher, but i've not had alot of luck with cases/power supplies running that many drives and the heat they put off.

If I went for price, my 160gig was priced best I think it was like $129 with a $50 rebate. Maxtor 8mb cache.

I rest my case.

Very cool, I remember my first computer only having a 3.2 Gig harddrive :1orglaugh Lucky I only had dialup back then or I would have filled it up too fast

you might need more power if you're going to run the 5 hd's at once

Nice addition. That would help you a lot.
