Hard drive half full

[lhuser]

I beated you

A 120GB, another 120GB and a 160GB...all from Maxtor.


That gives a nice 400GB total

Soon getting an 80GB 15,000 RPM

How do y'all fill-up these drives? I've got a mere 10GB of data in My Documents and about 15 programs installed.

And that's with a dual-boot config with XP Home and Ubuntu Linux 5.04, and i still had around 10GB free space in total, on a 40GB drive!

Well, I can't basically. I can use MAX 25GB/400GB Also, remember that these drives contained bad sectors that I repaired by a forced full format

 

[acphenom]

lol, so why upgrade more space rather than speed?

And are you trying to say that you backup data to your other drive when you format?

Ha! A 240GB 7,200rpm hard drive is no match for a 74GB 10,000rpm Raptor, my friend.

no match in speed, but i'd like to see a 74gb raptor hold 240gb's of data. it cant be done

 

[acphenom]

Yeah, but how would you fill it up? I could never fill-up a 240GB drive, even if i created replicas of my files and used 3 different operating systems.

 

[mighty_chick]

i have no idea..i have 10 full movies on my cmoputer and 7gb of music and i still have 109gb free, and this is the mose i ever had. i bought a 160gb hd so i would never fill it up. i have no idea how some of u ppl do it

 

[acphenom]

lol

Surely it slows your PC down, having so much space.
