How much space is free on your computer?
Well, I finally have to break down and buy a larger hard drive for my macbook pro :) It currently has only 15gb left and filling up fast(out of 92gb total, 100gb drive)
Mainly filled up with music and TV shows in itunes, and lots of photos. I know I could get an external hard drive, but since it's my laptop I want everything I can on the internal drive. So hopefully before the end of this week I'll have a 200gb internal drive installed and 2 100gb external laptop drives :) 1 100gb 7200rpm drive from my old powerbook, and the 100gb 7200 drive that is currently installed in this laptop. I can't wait till we have 500gb laptop hard drives :) So how much space do you laptop users have free? Do you use external drives for anything other than backups? |
ha my lappy sucks 20gigs total, C has like 2.5 gigs left, D is empty and is currently waiting to be filled. good thing i only keep limited amounts of music, video, pictures on it
|
Yea, I might have excessive amounts of music, videos, and pictures
43gb of Video 10gb of Music 4.5gb of Pictures and about 700mb of actual work/documents, lol. And I'll continue to keep everything on the same drive until they don't make laptop drives big enough. Of course I backup all of this on 2 external desktop sized drives. This is what I plan on getting to put the old hard drive in. If anyone has suggestions for anything else that would be great, has to be FW400/USB 2.0 bus powered, and SATA. Also the same thing except PATA, preferably matching. Thats why I decided on this unit, it comes in PATA and SATA, so my old drive and the new drive match :) I'd rather have aluminum, but the clear is fine too. http://eshop.macsales.com/images/Items/owcmstg800u2.jpg |
I have an 80Gig HD and it is half full so Ive got 40 left. I have a 120GB External at home that I need to get so I can back up everything.
|
On my ibook i have 35\80 used. No music or video just documents and pictures.
I have two external HD's 60gb WD 2.5in external has: 32gb of music 5gb of software 2gb of video 250gb external 3.5 drive made from a Maxtor HDD with two partitions on it. I use Acronis (AWESOME) backup software to do this: Image of my WD external hard drive. Image of my Desktop PC with all the drivers stripped out but applications installed. I backup the WD external image whenever I add more to my music library. The 250gb external drive gets turned off when not in use to extend its life. |
Yea I use DeJa Vu for backing up my mac, works great, makes a bootable copy so if my main hd dies, I can replace the hd and just clone the backup to the new drive and start working again.

my pc has two 250gb harddrives.. so i have 500gb :D
however due to my pc having media center on it, i record a ton of tv, so i only have about 150 gigs left :( |
Drive 1 - 14BG free.
Drive 2 - 22.6GB free. My laptop is for work only so I doubt I'll fill either drive up. |
I crank through the HD space no problem. I have two 200Gb hard drives, and a 60 Gb HD, between the two 200Gb drives I have perhaps 40Gb free. When I finally build a new computer, I'm going 1.5Tb (three 500Gb monstrosities) plus a "small" 100Gb for the OS, and never looking back :bigok:
|
I have 2 250GB HDD's. One is a quarter full, the other one is empty.
|
Fellow Mac user! Excellent. There ARE a few of us out there.
PowerBook 17 - 11 gigs left on and 80 gig HD. Too much music, Freelance Design work and photos. |
Depends on the computer. My Powerbook 100g-3g free externals 80g, 80g, 60g, 30g and 10g. PC #1 gaming (2) 100g-60g & 40g free plus (2) 100g Raid array (may pull them and use for externals), (2) 80g externals. PC #2 movie recording (2) 80g. PC #3 old 486 500mb- 80mb free, 250mb full old Dos games and a 500mb Quick disk. iPAQ 63mb, storage card 512mb, CF 125 and micro drive 500mb. I've got too much junk, need to get some bigger drives and clean house.

around 500 gigs
i have 5 hds, 3 of which are 250 gigs, the other two are 160gigs |
Well,finally got everything installed. 4200 RPM 200gb Toshiba drive in the Macbook Pro (which is a pita to open up btw) It's so nice to have over 100gb free space on a laptop!
Now I have two external 100gb laptop drives, might sell one of them soon so keep your eyes open for a "FS" thread :) |
notebook - 45 GB
external HD - 300 GB |
You guys are wierd.
I've only recently upgraded from a 2GB HD, 500MHZ machine. Did everything I needed it to do. Pics and Movies go to CD or DVD anyway. Had to pay attention to downloads and clean it regularly. I don't think my Brain even holds more than a few MB. And now, people are getting TB drives? I hate computers, really. I've been IT support for 10 years now. When I get home from work, I don't really want to mess with them. I have a newer laptop that I've probably opened up twice, had it for a year now. I really only use my PC for information. Forums and stuff. Oh, that, and downloading lots of pictures of boobies. |
