you missed my storage freaks clubhouse, didnt you?

I've got 6TB of storage, most of it full.

a few people had some odd questions... hard drives only use about 5 watts of power. it aint much.

Not really The most important stuff I put on my laptop.

I don't really have anything that important. Just papers for school, which I put on my laptop. So if I had a HDD crash the only thing I would lose is my game saves.

I do need to invest in a portable HDD. I almost bought one a few days ago when newegg had a 160gb wdd for the shell shocker deal.

My save games are the most important data I have.

Two 74GB WD Raptors Raid 0 - 54.2 free
2GB Kingston flash - 401mb free

Never filled the 74 GB drives full. I'm like some of the others here on a personal PC unless you have a massive music or porn collection what the hell you do with it is beyond me.

I will say my wife and daughter have their own PCs but the kids is only 80GB and the wife's is a 200GB neither have filled theirs either though.

Games.

thebeephaha · Apr 13, 2009

Movies, TV Shows, Music, Pictures, Program/Game installers, Virtual Machines, and PC backups make up 4TB of my 10TB server, it adds up fast.

Like since my post in this thread one page back I had 5976GB free, it is now down to 5852GB free.

High Def content adds up FAST.

Agreed.

TV Shows fill up most of my space, and backups of all my game DVDs. The bad thing is most of the stuff is rarely used. I just can't stand to delete anything. :eek:

Well duh I can go DL till my heart is content and fill every drive here eventually.

The point is at some time you have to realize you aren't playing 1TB of games. If you are you really need a social life. :roll:

I have played other games as well but the fact remains 2 or 3 is usually the norm from the multitudes of gamers I know anyway. I really pitty those who believe they just cannot live without massive storage as they would all have had a stroke back in the day when a 4GB drive was bad ass technology. :laugh:

Mussels · Apr 14, 2009

my games drive (ISO backups, patches, and installers) is over 400GB, plus another 200GB or so for currently installed games (steam adds a fair bit to the installed games list, thats for sure)

Altered: you might think we dont play 1TB of games... we dont. but we've been collecting em for decades. my first PC had a 4.3GB quantum fireball HDD, so i certainly remember those days.

For some reason they're advertised as 36GB but they're actually 37GB:

But the drive itself has 37GB. He can only use 34.4GB of it.

not true!

37016825856 bytes is what the drive reports, divide by 1024 to get KB (36149244) and divide once more for MB (35301.99609375) divide again for GB - 34.474605560302734375

he has a 34.476 GB drive.

you can blame the rest on HDD manufactuers being unable to count.

It is not that I play 2 TB of games everyday, it is that I install one, and leave it installed. With storage so cheap, my time (as in the time to find cd, put it in, and wait for install, install any mods I have, change any settings I had, etc.) is worth more than the price of a couple hundred gigs...

2 retail games are going to set you back $100. On the other hand, you can get a 640gb drive for 70 dollars, or even less... Storage is the cheapest part of gaming nowadays, why not take advantage?
