Poll: What's your PC's storage capacity?
Author: Phil CogarPublished: 15th September 2007
How much storage do you have to satisfy your porn/music/movies/TV show cravings?
With today's programs, multimedia files, and random assortment of other documents however, you can fill up several gigabytes in a matter of minutes. Hard drives are coming in larger sizes and cost far less than they ever have, making storage space not so much a premium but more of an affordable and easy upgrade.
With many people showing off music collections that are greater than 100GB over in the forums, it brought up an interesting question.
Just how much storage space do you have in your computer? You can combine the amount of storage space from all of your computers for a grand total.

(2x 400 GB Maxtors running in RAID 1)
40GB on here
then theres 3 300gbs in my gaming pc
3 200gbs in the work pc
a 500gb in each media centre of which there are 3
and 2 80gbs in the laptops
total of 8.36 tb hehe
though not for long, I think HL2:episode 2 is going to require I build a new gaming rig....
750 + 400 in the htpc
4x320 in the server
100 in a laptop
60 in tuther laptop
320 3.5" external
60 2.5" external
I voted 1-5TB, but just adding that lot up, it appears I've voted incorrectly :o
edit: actually, depends on whether we're talking TB or TiB
Laptop: ~110 GB
External disks: 2 × 279 GB + 750 GB
Total: 600 + 110 + 558 + 750 = 2,018 GB
Oops. Looks like I don't fit in the 400 GB1 TB category after all. :o
250 x 3

That makes about 1.8TB not including the discs not in use, and the 320gig lost in a RAID 3.
80GB in the Tower.
also included the 500GB Lacie NAS drive in my total
My laptop (which I'm using at the moment) has an 80Gb HDD.
Main Rig: 2 x 150 GB Raptors
File Server: 6 x 250 GB WD (soon to be 8 in RAID 5)
Spare: 2 x 80 GB
Office 1 x 60 GB
Laptop 1 x 60 GB
Probably about another 100 GB in old my old systems in the loft. (Really need to do something with those)
my gaming rig has almost a Tera byte of storage, 750gb (music and lightly used games) and 150gb Raptor (OS and Heavy used games)
my HTPC rig has 4 Terabyte of storage, 4 Hitachi Tera Drives (Movies and Music), 1 74gb Raptor (OS and Applications)
I will be building a file server after I complete my two projects so that I can run my BTs and web design stuff off of it, it will have 2 Tera bytes.
MCE PC 2 x 400Gb + 2 x 60Gb + 250Gb external
Media PC 2 x 80Gb + 4 x 120Gb + 60Gb
Laptop 1 x 60Gb
250Gb partitioned as 40Gb for OS/Programs and 210Gb for data files (video,photos,music,games)
160Gb recording live tv (SD+HD quality)
250Gb location for all the tv I've recorded but not managed to watch yet - BBCHD takes up alot of space, plus used for my video editing
320Gb External - was mainly another archive device for tv progs, photos before they got backed up to dvd, but also use it to backup my important files/emails with a simple dos script
Generally I'm ok with space, but xmas is abit touch and go
My old pc has a 80Gb and 40Gb harddisk plus I have various <10Gb disks lieing around to experiment with
plus in the loft I have an old Amstrad which has a hard disk with the grand total of 20Mb !!!
2x 160Gb Seagate's (Raid0) in the games PC (will soon be 4x 160Gb - Raid5)
2x 250Gb WD's in the Server
100GB Laptop + 160GB external drive.
Main Rig has 2x250 + 140, so 640GB overall.
And about 20GB free.... oh dear...
Interesting thing is, my main rig has an athlon64,a powered ATI x800XL,three HDs (and occasionally a fourth), and a DVD Drive, all running off a single 350W PSU, without problems!
I'm sure once I get my 8800 it'll be a different strory tho =/

rounds to 553GiB on main
- soon to be upgraded, as those drives are pretty old, probably 2x500 or 2x750GB in Raid 1
120GB/111GiB Seagate P-ATA on my Pundit
80GB/74,5GiB WD Passport II
Also got some random disks thrown around like a 1gb disk, and a portable with 6gb.

3x500GB not quite in my server yet
Never really need that much storage space tbh
2x200GB Seagates
4x500GB Seagates (the new ones I picked up 2 weeks ago)
6x250GB Maxtors
so unformatted space is 3.9TB or 3900GB
Um... lots of space for music and stuff :D
Regards
GiGo
I'm not. I'm just asking for clarification. The two totals are vastly different numbers.
edit: Ah well, turns out I fit where I fit regardless of loss.
Well, I am editing HD video here :)
Phil
720+
Soon to add a 500gb to the server though so over a TB :)
Ewwww, RAID-0!
For someone editing HD video that's a perfect storage setup to have. Assuming he has backups of course.
Well he hasn't counted any hard drive backup space ;)
1 x 250Gb WD storage/downloads
adding a 500GB soon for images/movies/ever expanding music collection
So?
sat on top of the PC i have a 120, 160 and 200GB IDE drives from my old PC, which will be going into my server PC when i stop being lazy and actually move them there :P
server PC has 160GB (2x80GB)
laptop has 60GB
brother's PC has 160GB
parent's PC has 80GB
grand total nearly 2.5TB
just bought a 500GB for my new build.
and have a 500GB external for backup, 250GB on my old computer with 30GB + 40GB on my very old computer. total: 1.3TB.
why would people need so much storage anyway? 500GB for games + a bit of video editing + music is more than enough.
3x fecking noisy WD 80gb JB IDE drives here..
- 2 on a cheap and nasty IDE raid card.
JOY
What I have is the EDLs and the ability to recapture it all from video tape.
Otherwise yes. Uncompressed 1080p requires quite silly amounts of space.
Phil
Soon to buy a 500gb external
2nd computer = 1x 160 GB
3rd computer = 1x 750 GB (recently bought hdd and no where near full yet)
200GB for OS + main storage
10GB for important backup files "just in case" as it's no good for anything else.

Addendum:
What if we include storage in other devices such as digital cameras, iPods, phones, USB sticks, etc? If so I'd have another 100GB or so.
193 gigs
400gig HDD's are cheap though and I should upgrade as I'm slowly running out of space

Secondary, HTPC/FoF PC: 80 GB
Laptop: 80GB
Makes about 410 GB, and i tihnk ill buy another 160 GB to my Secondary.
30gb on my iPod, 15 free.
May I ask, what do you people use >1TB for?!
If I install every game I have, and even every game I want, and put all my music on my computer, I would still only be using I bet around 200gb.
Even if I ripped all my DVD's, assuming 2gb a DVD (Just the main feature) we'd only be talking about 114gb (57 feature films).
And hell, even if I ripped my 5 seasons of Buffy, season of Firefly, and 2 seasons of Meerkat Manor (Yeah, I know, don't ask) and assuming once again around 2gb a disk... It'd only be 300gb (22x5, 14, 12+13).
Still only at 614gb.
Let's add in my anime series. For sake of ease I'm going to assume they are all 26 episodes.
676gb more.
Bringing the total to 1,290gb.
And that would be putting every thing I have on there at the same time. Which I probably wouldn't do.
I think I would buy a 1TB drive just so I never have to by another one again.
(Guess I'd buy two, so I could back up the first one, just in case. )
Personal Laptop: 120GB
School Laptop: 100GB
External: 40GB.
Not all too bad, considering some of you ******s ordering 500GB drives by the case :-p

I'm sure theres more that are forgotten.
Highpoint Rocket RAID 2220 on a PCI-X slot in the Tyan server. It's not bad running all 8 drives in RAID 5... But it does chew through a fair few CPU cycles when they're under load.
The case is one of the Silverstone guys... I forget the model number. It's not the best with all 11 drives in the thing, soo many fans I've had to hide it on the otherside of the house. Hoping to get one of those double cubey lian-li efforts at some point to spread everything out a touch.
-36Gb Raptor + 60GB + 300GB
MacBook Pro
-150GB
NAS
-4x500GB
Total
-2.546TB
Looking to upgrade the NAS to 4x750GB drives soon.
yes, I know its totally overkill.
36+250+400 In PC
40+120 in second PC
320+400+500+750 in External drives
So 2.8TB or there abouts. Probably kickin around 3TB if I factor in various ipods, game consoles, old drives and laptop bits/bobs lying around.
I tend to fill up an external drive at a fairly consistent rate. Every time I've needed a new one the price tends to be around £100 and it's always been 1 step below the biggest drive of the time... I paid a little more for the 750 one though. 1TB one next.. this one should last a few months.. saying that it does only have 140GB space left on it, but I've not burned a load of stuff out to DVD's yet.
Hidden sun has: 60+20. adding more soon.
Suerly you mean 4000Gb as 4000Tb would be 4Pb
Kimbie
So that's where all the server hosting money goes
I hope for his being that it is "only" 4Tb of porn, if not, Then please go to the doctor.
Main rig: 2*80Gb + 1*250Gb

It has 10x 5.25" bays, combine that with 3x
http://www.coolermaster-europe.com/index.php?LT=english&Language_s=2&url_place=product&p_serial=STB-3T4-E1&other_title=+STB-3T4-E1+4-in-3%20Device%20Module
And you have the possibility for 12 HDD's cooled with a fan, and the case takes another 2
(note. all the 5.25" racks had a lip to hold the drives up, however that gets in the way of the 4in3 module, so i had to bend them out the way, also, the case is a bit heavy, especially loaded with that much stuff)
Those 4in3 modules are a God send (well yeah, I could mod the server, but it's been drilled to fit fans so much it's getting scary)... Although have seen those 3in2 modules, which give more space in the end... but you're dropping from a 120 fan to an 80... so not sure on the cooling
1x 320GB WD

my sff only has 2 hdd slots.
why cant i click on the smilies and they go into my post :( ?
Is it? It's only overkill if you over-bought your storage and you aren't making good use of it. While I admit I was shocked to learn I have just over 17TB of storage (never added it all up until this thread), I have to say I only have a small margin of it as unused and 'available'.
The reason it's overkill to over-buy storage space is because it is CONSTANTLY getting denser, faster and cheaper. Only a fool would buy way more storage then he/she could use in a year or so. Having said that, I tend to buy storage about once a year for a big upgrade, and occasional additional smaller buys throughout the year.
I should make it clear, however, that the reason I use so much storage is that I do video post-production and graphics for a living and need to archive a lot of stuff. Therefore, all my expenditures are written off as business expenses.

Other PCs 40+40+120+80 = 280
Flash ~10G total (Does this count?)
Approx 2.2T most of it PATA
But I'm about to add a 500G SATA drive to the HTPC as it looks like one of the 200G ones is dying.
Sweet jebus!
I wish I had such a big e-peen. :(
Secondly, you can fit faster/slower, louder/quieter fans with a 120mm
Still 12-14 HDD's is plenty enough for me :p

i got 1rig only, currently sitting at 320x2 + 250x2 + 80x2 = ~1.2TB. 80x2 on RAID-0 for OS and program installs (i never manage to fill it), the rest is for "data" :D
and some other harddisk not in use 2X120 and 80 and 40 and flash memory 4Gb / 2Gb /1Gb ;) not important

LIES!
I think this image, is perhaps apt for this quote and the thread in general:
http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/385/ihbab4yk3.jpg
it fills up very quickly when you deal with HD content. 1 movie means 15-40gb gone.
Yeah, the RIAA clearly will think we're all evil pirates!!! ARRRR! But on a serious note, I backup my father's work stuff through a VPN and all the family photos... Just getting into photography takes up alot of space (or time if you want to delete all the bad pictures). The there's a copy of the CD collection... Finally, converting family VHS to DVD (and Divx) takes up alot of space during conversion when I like to keep everything uncompressed.
Then there's the daily backups of webservers, Tivo type stuff... ach, the list goes on and on and on and on and on and.......
2 x 200gbs in my pc
30gb in a laptop

The 2 linux drives 2x20gb
The 2 spare seagates 2x80gb

The laptop 40gb
And finally the new servers coming to me this X-mas
2x40gb (roughly) in each so an extra 160gb
Total: 560gb which still isn't enough for meh :(
In my main rig: Seagate 320 GB SATA + Seagate 160 GB SATA + Seagate 80 PATA + WD MyBook Essential 250 GB
My Wife's pc: Seagate 80 GB PATA (that's more than plenty) :p
My new server: WD RE 160 GB SATA + two WD RE 320 GB SATA
That'll be (bringing up CALC.EXE) .... 1690 GB - Wohoo! I knew that it would be more than one TB but didn't know it be past one and a half!
Media PC is has 120Gb of storage in 2 x 60Gb 2.5" drives RAID 0
Main PC has 2 x 250Gb drives in RAID 0 - With 4 500Gb MyBooks as backup to my RAID array.
Laptop has 80Gb with another 80Gb External 2.5" drive.
I have another 3 x 300Gb old drives to mount in the file server...Maybe not.
So...All in all about 6.2Tb's and its about 70% full.
main rig - 60+40
main laptop - 60
messing around laptop - 30
unused dual p3 linux box - 40
usb hdd - 60 (used to carry stuff between work & home mainly - like audio books. gotta do something between calls)
also have another 20bg 2.5" drive, in the top drawer that has the XP install for the spare laptop, so i can switch in case of disaster.
and a 30Gb usb drive at work, that stays there as i use it for imaging pc's and storing documentation backups.
this doesnt include the folder with about 100 dvd's of backups either.
Main rig: 40 + 160 PATA
HTPC: 6 + 2x 80 PATA RAID-0
Server 1: 8 PATA

External USB = 120gb
Main Computer = 2 x 500gb raid0 = 1tb

Now my home Linux server has 4.1 TB of storage and my Mac Mini has just under 1 TB of storage. We have saved every file from 1987 forward. Both in original file format (SideKick, WordStar, QA Write, WordPerfect, MS Word and OpenOffice) and now converted to Open Standards XML.
The largest user of space is video files. Home movies from the '60-70s on Super8 converted, VHS from the '80-90s converted and more stuff from iTunes than I can count.
There is no longer any Microsoft anything running in our home. It's either Linux or Mac on Unix. We haven't had a virus problem in over two years.
MacMan-Mini
60GB in laptop and 80GB in my backup machine.
total 620GB
maybe soon to order in the future a pair of HDD maybe 500GB drives as they got a good price. i doudt i will ever need a full 1TB, but what the hell!
SSD's are way to pricey to even take an interest in them!
80 GB? In laptop
500gb Firewire drive
120gb Portable Firewire drive
160gb Laptop
1.78tb total
150gb raptor
250gb Seagate
Server1:
500gb x2 (unsure of brand)
Server2:
250gb IBM
150gb raptor
Other PC's equate to around 800gb, so that's roughly 2.6tb in the house altogether, although this PC only has 400gb...
Sam.
WD 500 GB
WD 1 TB x2 raid
Seagate 120
Maxtor 160
WD 150 GB Raptor (Solo :( its partner fried)
Which Brings me to a grand total of 2.9 Terabytes. System is @ 76% full. Video Editing takes quite the chunk of HDD's.
BTW the WD 1 TB x2 Raid, run extremely cool and are not excessively loud as I presumed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Portable storage: 500(USB)+120+80+80+80+80+80+80+80+60
Total: About 1,9TB
I also have 250GB in the mail. (smallest disk i could find...)
main PC : 37gb , 80gb, 80gb, 80gb, 120gb
laptop : 80gb
1gb corsair voyager
2gb kingston something
i also have a 250gb i use for a class on ActiveDiretory
Technically not yet, but christmas is soon.
8 DAYS!!!
I'm as excited as a policeman in a... this is going nowhere
Main system = 2 x 750gb
Secondary system = 2 x 750gb
File Server = 4 x 500gb
Music server = 2 x 750gb + 500gb
Picture/ video server = 3 x 750gb
Thats just my systems and don't count the other 4 systems in the house.
Soon to add 2 HP NetServers with 6 x 500 each.

Muffins17, I would say you have 0 storage. Two HDD's in RAID 0 spells trouble. If one goes out, you have nothing. I would only set one up for the OS (OS's) and one for storage. It would be a shame if you couldn't recover any data if the RAID or one of your drives fails.
Whilst RAID 0 offers very little advantage to the average home user now - given the speed of today's drives...
it only really "spells trouble" (IMO), if you don't have a proper backup solution in place as well ;)
And if 'push came to shove', there are also data recovery programs which support RAID setups.
But even the best of them don't guarantee to recover everything of course, so up-to-date backups are vitally important, if you're running RAID 0
Yer, i'm thinking of going just JBOD now, as i've heard much the same from other people, but that's annoying to me as i want 3 partitions which wouldn't scale well over two drives, oh well time for number 3 i guess ;)
