How big is your Harddrive
 

Just wondering. I got a 40Gb and I am thinking of upgrading. Don't run out of space just want 7200RPM and U133. Also an 8MB cache would be nice


How big is your harddrive and what brand is it?

2 x 40gig Maxtor HD's! Gotta get a 120gig here next, about to fill these to the max already!

120

200gb

got 2 120GB HD..and I'm running out of space fast :(

2 120 gigs and 2 80 gigs.
One of the 120s had to be replaced (fucking western digital) but the other 3 are all maxtors and work great.

1200 gb

I have 10 hard drives of data. The biggest individual one is 160GB. Over a terabyte all together.

7 "

i've got a 200 GB on the PC, a 10 GB and 40 GB that go in an external HD enclosure and a 40 GB drive in the laptop.

i've also got a DVD burner to back up/store stuff.

I have 3:

2x 160GB
200GB

I have 2 120's in the desktop and a 60 in my laptop.

I coulda sworn i posted to a similar thread yesterday at 4am...

Got 2x80gb and 1x120gb on the PC
Got 2x80gb and 1x40gb on the Mac
Got 1x40gb on the iBook

:thumbsup

Think I'm gonna upgrade those 80gb on the pc to 120gb's or more each, got like 15 gb left :ak47:

il ballin with the 20 gig tha tis 67% full

I got 2 harddrives
160 GB
80 GB

40 & 60

1 Maxtor = 120 GB
1 Western Digital = 200 GB

84tb

9 Hard disks in total - not sure of brands:
40GB, 60GB, 120GB, 80GB, 80GB, 120GB, 160GB + portable Lacie 320GB firewire H/Disk :)
Finding files can be difficult however :helpme

Just under half a petabye.

Two 72 gig 10,000rpm SATA drives run in RAID 0.

This is supposed to be the fastest config available for the price.

120, new pc will have 2x 200

I have about 20 200GB maxtors
15 that are hooked up :glugglug

:1orglaugh

6 HDD x 120 gigs
2 HDD x 160 g
and 3 of 80 gigs
shitload of pics and videos + back ups

2 times 200 on my desktop and a shitload more on the server :)

120gb

4 x 200 on my main desktop, and about 500 spread over laptops and another desktop

40gb

I had to get some extra last month:

1 x 40 Gb Maxtor
1 x 160 Gb Western D.
1 x 200 Gb Maxtor Onetouch External HDD

Plenty to go around

This computer has a 36 GB SCSI 15k rpm drive that I store Windows and my programs on, and a 160 GB 7200 RPM IDE drive.

I can't imagine needing much mroe storage then this in the near future.. 4 months of use and still have 80+% of the drives free.

isnt maxtor slow as shit compared to the WD? That's what Im noticing here.

Ok between a Western Digital and a Maxtor 120Gb, which one is a better choice?

one of my external harddrives just went up in smoke :BangBang: :ak47:

Me too

30 gigs. Once I hit 10 or so, I start moving to CD's for storage.

2*80
160GB

150 gb

2 x 200 gb

mine is 40gb!:thumbsup

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 ?
