Wow lets do some math.

Primary desktop: 1.4TB only 300gb left.
MCE Computer: 500gb .. no idea it deletes files by itself if needbe.
Car Computer: 160gb 30gb left
Laptop: 160gb, 23gb left.
NAS: 1.0TB 700gb left.
External laptop drive = 80gb no clue.
External 3.5drive = 300gb no clue.

So thats 3.4 Terabytes about 2/3rds used, and this doesn't count the hard drives I have piled up in the corner (old scsi's, eide's)

What do I have you ask that takes so much space.

100+gb of music.
250+gb of photos in .raw format
I guess probably about a thousand dvd's in .divx format
Lots of images of dvds (no compression)
Lots of images of data cds (if it breaks burn a new one)
Oodles of data from computer backups, lots of ghost images.

I love how cheap per gigabyte storage is, and it's just going to keep getting cheaper.

Bring on solid state!

I replaced my laptop drive just in time. The computer was acting weird for a while (file system would get corrupted for no reason). Today the old laptop drive died in it's external enclosure. Not from heat or anything, just turned it on and it made loud clicking noises. So pay attention to your computer! and back all your important stuff up! All I lost was a windows XP parallels workstation image, and that is backed up at home

Laptop:
Dual internal 100gig drives, one compleatly empty the other has 50gigs left, looking to buy dual 200gigs soon.

Desktop: 7 scsi raid drives each 30 gigs each (cheaper picking up old 30 gig scsi drives than buying a large new one)
