For those that dont know, HDD stands for hard disk drive. lol
I have 3 I am storing on right now, and am in dire need of more. I save a lot of movies, back up ones I currently own, and have a ton of music, so thats where most of my space is going, but below is what I have.
external - 250 gigabyte
external - 80 gigabyte
internal - 160 gigabyte
490 gigs total, and I have 23 gigs free.

Shit wish I could get a unit like that but I can get 4 1TB units for less than half that price, speaking of that I will be getting one of those 1TB units tomorrow maybe it will last me a month before it's all filled.

Good God...How much porn do you people have!?!?!?!?...lol
I mean, I have my fair share...but...jeeze....
anyway...
750GB...I'm a filmmaker....one single project I have takes up 27 gigs.
big_mike
08-20-2007, 06:46 PM
I actually have less than 50GB of porn, 40 of which belong to nikki. Most of mine is DVD ripping (aka backup of movies I own officer!) and those eat up either 800MB or 4GB, depending on how I get them. It adds up very quickly! My pictures is only 40GB worth.
I need to find a new drive, but cant decide between two 500GB or one 1TB drive.

08-21-2007, 03:10 AM
I say two 500's
cause if one goes...you still got the other...the other way, well, if one goes....you're fucked.
