How much hard drive space do you have?

[Golayitdown]

Got like 3 TB drives on the fritz...a 1.5TB that started flashing a light and stopped showing up on USB. I got a 320GB from 2006 that still works but that is mostly 2007 and 2008 material. So it's time for some re-ups..i'll try Seagate this time since nyggas keep claiming it's legit. But I'm more obsessed with having shyt backed up than ever before. Just bought another burner from Tiger Direct last Friday. I just like 25GB free out of 472GB on my laptop though.

If you have the time and are comfortable with opening the enclosures, the drives may be fine...a lot of controllers on external drives go out before the actual drive...

Yeah...I tried that with one of them but that didn't work. Haven't opened the other two either(one has a clicking sound and the other just doesn't show up even though it looks fine) and that Mybook thing, I have NO IDEA how you get that bytch open That may just be an AC Adapter thing though since it just stopped powering on PERIOD.

I had a couple of mybook drives....one did that..... if you think of the drive like a big D, the two main clips are are on the top and bottom of the straight part... the rounded part just slides off....

So what was wrong with the Mybook? It was just a Adapter thing or you just slide it in the new Enclosure? I got a enclosure for 1-1.5TB drives.

Mine was just the adapter.... drive wouldn't show up... sometimes wouldn't power on... took it out and put it in my desktop and its been fine since... still in use today and it's been almost 2 years

What are you using to hold your drives? Rackmount, off the shelf computer, custom built?

Using the Lian Li Cube case PC-343B:



Also what i did to maximize space is bought 6 (3 x 5.25") drive bays that hold 5 hard drives each, effectively giving me 30 slots total for hard drives:

My cousin just came through this past weekend and gave me a 1Tb usb seagate he didnt have use for.

Just formatted it and transferring all my music to it 51.3gb.

Looks like I might have to start building a Porn Collection again....

on the PC - 500GB - 420GB left (OS, music, pictures, documents, emulators)
1TB external drive - 190GB left (backup of movies, backup of boxing fights, porn, docs, backup of music and pictures)
500GB external drive - 101 GB left (backup of fights, wrestling videos, backup of documents)
250GB external drive - 160GB left (back up of disney movies, backup of emulators, some miscellaneous files)
250GB external drive - recently formatted; nothing on it yet
160GB external drive - 40 gigs left; alot of older shyt
1TB WD Live Hub - 230 gigs left (my movies, documentaries, boxing fights, wrestling videos, and disney shyt)

I also have a 2GB & 4GB thumb drive i keep in my work bag; don't know how much are left on that

Man who knew in 2012 we would be able to have all this hard drive space

Laptop C Drive: I've used 75% of 221 GB

External: I've used 41% of almost 300 GB (serves as a backup)

I'm workin' on movin' stuff to the external (mostly music & podcasts)

EDIT: Just bought a 16 GB thumbdrive for extra important files

Do you know how many times I wished I hadnt deleted some porn flicks I cant get back cause I believed they took up too much space and I wasnt going to jack off to them again.

When megaupload went down I couldn't find none of my favorite scenes I used to have on deck. Not even on streaming websites
