    Re: Features - QOTW: How much storage do you use on your primary PC?

    I have a 128GB SSD and 2x1Tb HDDs in my PC. 15.2Gb free on the SSD. 343Gb free on one HDD and 196Gb free on the other. I have a lot of video files on them though.

    I also have 2x 1.5Tb external drives and a 500Gb portable drive for back ups/archiving.

    Using 135GB out of a 480GB SSD. Upgraded from a 80GB late last year that I had been using for 6 years. I do have about 1.5TB of space in an external USB device that is pretty flaky, so it never gets used.

    Re: Features - QOTW: How much storage do you use on your primary PC?

    About 600Gb of data currently, spread over three drives

    Windows drive = 120Gb SSD, nothing stored on this other than windows and installed utility programmes (antivirus, Office etc)

    Games drive = 500Gb HDD (50% full)
    Data drive = 1TB HDD (15% full)

    The data drive is the newest, and is kept backed up to DVD on a periodic basis, with some data stored online in various cloud servers.


    As a related question, what is the data on your PC worth? As a rough estimate, I have around £2,500 worth of digital content as I purchase a lot of PDF roleplaying suppliments, along with various PC games, music and a handful of movies.

    120GB SSD (os/games) 80% full Plextor M5P
    600GB HDD (games) 50% full WD Veloceraptor
    300GB HDD (games) 45% full WD Veloceraptor
    1.8TB HDD (storage) 85% full Samsung Spinpoint F4
    1.8TB HDD (storage2) 99% full Samsung Spinpoint F4

    there is another 1.8tb hdd in it a samsung spinpoint F3 but it recently started it's death rattle so it's disabled, such a annoying noise ^^

    all user folders moved to storage 2 to conserve space on the ssd, also nice if your windows gets borked and you need to format/restore a backup most important things are on another drive ^^

    Re: Features - QOTW: How much storage do you use on your primary PC?

    I still only have my ageing 240GB OCZ Vertex 2E SSD for now, but really I'm getting tired of mucking about with separate storage hosts and I'm planning on just throwing in, and expanding a RAID 5 array of 3x4TB reds into a Define Mini as I go/need, a 512GB M.2 stick for the OS, software, VMs, and scratch space, and a separate external disk for backups of personal/irreplaceable data.

    Re: Features - QOTW: How much storage do you use on your primary PC?

    Laptop: 250GB SSD + 750GB SSHD
    Main PC: 256GB SSD + 3tb internal + 4tb internal
    Streaming & Backup PC 1tb internal, 2x3tb internal + 4tb external

    I think I start to get a teeny bit OCD when I get less that 50% free space available, so I just add another drive

    Desktop PC: 256GB SSD (40 GB Free)
    Laptop: 120GB HDD (69GB Free)
    Server (remember multiple users): 10TB HDD (1.8 TB Free)
