How much hard drive space do you have? :O

[rogeryang]

Alright all, this is half a competition post / half an index on what computers Gotapexers are running. Just list how much hard drive space you have total, and the speed it runs at (Example: UDMA 100, UDMA 66, UDMA 33, SCSI, RAID). If you don't know the speed, you run at UDMA 33.

Me: 107 GB @ UDMA 66

9.1 GB Quantum 10K SCSI 3

20.5GB IBM 7.2K ATA 4
20.5GB WD 7.2K ATA 4
45 GB WD 7.2K ATA 4

On LAN in my room
4.5 GB Quantum 7.2K SCSI 3
2.1 GB Quantum 7.2K SCSI 2
8.4 GB WD 5.4K ATA 3
5.1 GB WD 5.4K ATA 3
2.5 GB WD 5.4K ATA 2
2.1 GB Seagate 5.4K ATA 2
540 MB Conner 5.4K ATA 1
320 MB Quantum 5.4K ATA 1

For Sale sealed:
13.5GB IBM 7.2K

[rogeryang]

Hehe, if you include lan storage, then my new figure is:

Native: 107 GB
LAN: 110 GB

Total: 217 GB

P.S.: Chosenfool, 650 mb? I threw away a 540 mb because it is not worth the effort to stick it into my box.

Well, my main home computer has 3gigs and change. However, I work at a state university, so if you want to count all the space on our WAN...

Probably doesn't count though, huh?

I currently have an 20 gig ATA100 72K Maxtor. And I have no idea why someone would need more than that. (with the exception of those extreme pirates who collect software rather than use it)

[spigidygak]

I have about 45 Gb, but pretty soon that nice lil' IBM 75 GXP should be in, so that'll up the ante to 120 GB .

[kick@ss]

My good PC: Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40.9GB 7200RPM ATA100 with the patch

My sh*tty PC: Maxtor DiamondMax 6GB 5400RPM and it is in desperate need of a reformating.

I signed up for some free thing on the net with 500MB of storage, I never use it but its there...

[rogeryang]

Well, in addition to personal use, my computer doubles as a file server. I store mostly multimedia stuff, and that is what takes up the majority of the space.

hehe. one of my universities servers crashed last year and lost 1.2 terrabytes of data. remember, that was only one of the servers.

[sbp]

Main Computer: IBM 75GXP 20.5 gig UDMA 100
IBM 20.5 gig 34GXP UDMA 66
Quantum Fireball EX 12.7 gig UDMA33

[Newbiee]

On muh main comp, 18gig quantum fireball and in a couple days till its here a 65gig

[rogeryang]

Terabytes are yummy.

[Aristo]

20 GB.

[colossus]

Why so much space? Because the MP3s I've ripped from my CDs alone total to 9 GB and I listen to them everyday! Why? Because I scanned all the headshots for my class yearbook, and each image takes 4MB X 150 students. Why? Because I store stuff for all the people's machines's I've backed up or built machines for.

Hehe, just got 2 45GB from my friend who didn't want them. Go fig! Hehe, I remember having a WD 1.6GB when 850 was the standard haha. HD space is where I waste my money.

Plus I love the 30GB online my dad gave me at his work. Defense companies with satellite uplink rule! Too bad I'm in class all day and can't abuse it

[sbp]

colossus forgot to mention porn.

[colossus]

Porn, I have no time for porn, let alone a girlfriend. I can listen to music when I study. Ever try studying with porn hehe? Hmmm, I'm sure Reverend Evil...., but that's a different story

[Paladin]

Me got a IBM deskstar 27.5gig 72k arrrr me maty's got a lot of harddrive space. AARRRRRRRR my pirate voice is back.AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[puppie]

School Computer: (when the parts come in)
15 gig IBM 75GXP @ UDMA 100
2 x IBM 75 GXP 45 gig raided on a Fasttrak 66 (UDMA66)
Total of 105 Gb (I do video editing)

and if I store stuff on my roomate's computers through LAN without telling them, add another 110 Gb making 215Gb. But that don't count right?

Home Computer:
9 gig IBM 9LZX 10K rpm on Ultra2 SCSI
36 gig IBM 7200rpm on Ultra2 SCSI
Total of 45 Gb

As you can tell I like IBM hard drives!

[rogeryang]

puppie: You should just get an ABIT BX133-RAID board, that's what I use, and even though I don't stripe my drives, the new board would surely be better than a modded Fasttrak.

Paladin: Who arr you talking to?

[jimhk1011]

9.1 GB IBM 18ES Ultra Wide SCSI 7,200rpm
10 GB IBM Deskstars UDMA 33

total = 19.1 GB

[AmRivlin]

Native:
WD 66 45.0
WD 66 5.1

Lan:
WD 4.2
WD 9.1
WD 650 MB
WD 1

As you can see I like Western Digital

[puppie]

Hey rogeryang, thanks for the advise, but I didn't mean that my Fasttrak was an Ultra 66, I just meant that it transfers at UDMA66 speeds despite the UDMA100 drives hooked up to it. Besides, I have an ASUS A7V, which I LOVE and don't want to change. Mebbe I'll mod a Ultra 100 if it's possible, does anyone know if it is?

[jh0079i]

Geez..., and I only have a 10GB IBM ATA 33.
need hard drive deal!

how did you know about my porn?! it's perfectly normal to have 50 gigs of porn!

[sbp]

Only 50 gigs?

puppie afaik Promise modified their ultra100 controller to prevent that modification.

[GraingerGuy]

Sheesh.....you guys have a lot o' space.

I have a 7.2 Maxtor and a 4.3 Maxtor

[Leon]

2 x 30GB IBM 75GXP RAID Level 0 = 60GB

[jjirsa78]

14.3 WD and a 27.0 Maxtor, both 7200, serving porn, mp3's and full length movies for anyone in the 134.173.* region (Claremont Colleges, just so you know).

[rogeryang]

Even though I can support raid with my motherboard, I am too scared to because I don't want one drive to fail and lose ALL of my data. I have had way too many drives fail on me to risk it. (BTW: Most of those drives were Western Digitals, AmRivlin)
