Whats the total capacity of your HD's (Poll)

[Steve]

BTW anyone know how much usable storage space you would get with 4 x 250GB drives in RAID 5?

It's total capacity minus one drive, so 750GB before correction for base 10 and formatting.

[MD]

320GB (2 x Seagate 160GB) in SB86i (not for much longer, looong story)
1 x 10GB 2.5 backup drive. Building a terbate storage system soon with stackable externals....

main rig = 2 x 80GB in RAID 0
server = 3 x 9GB SCSI + 80GB + 60GB
family pc = 40GB

So 367GB but I also have a DDS4 tape drive on server so if you count that and 30 x 20GB tapes then just under 1TB of storage.

My home setup: 1.33TiB

1x 300GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA 16MB NCQ (6B300S0)
7x 160GB Samsung SpinPoint IDE 8MB (SP1614N)
1x 40GB Maxtor for moving stuff between home and work (4D040H2)


Well done, WildmonkeyUK. With 1.67TiB, you've got me. Didn't expect anyone on Hexus to have as much as that.

My server co-owned with my friend in China have:
4x Seagate 7200.7 200G @ RAID5
4x Maxtor DM10+ 200G @ RAID5
4x Maxtor DM10+ 200G No RAID
That makes up 2TB at Base 10 hmm. A lot of crap stored there. Kind of being a backup server. (Since colocation there is so cheap)

[Rcb]

120 gb main pc 40gb laptop, 120gb Xbox.

[RDL]

I have about 1.1Tb.

Rig 1: 1x74gb Raptor, 2x 200gb Seagate 7200.7 RAID 0
Rig 2: 2x 250gb Maxtor DM10 RAID 0
Rig 3: 1x15gb Maxtor, 1x30gb
Rig 4: 1x10gb Maxtor

I also have 5 2gb drives in a couple of P2s, and about 1mb in my laptop

IDE Maxtor DiamondPlu 9 8MB Cache, 7200RPM 160GB

[OV3RCL0C3R]

80gb

[iranu]

2x sata 160GB Hitachi 7k250 raid 0.
1x ide 80GB WD (back up storage)
1x ide 20GB Samsung spinpoint (back up music)

420GB total.

[subucni]

I only have:

1 x sata 200gb Western Digital
1 x ide 40gb seagate

Could do with getting quite a bit more drive space for all my video editing as an hour of video takes up about 13gb which leads me onto a question for all the guys like Wildmonkey and Eldren with multiple drives, How are you actually powering all the drives? What kind of PSU?

[skuzgib]

OK, so who has the LEAST amount of storage?

[Howard]

Bloody hell what are you all downloading? The Arc De Triomphe?

I have a 60GB drive for Windows and Program Files and a 160GB drive for storage, so that equates to........Carry the one.......220GB.

And a 160GB external drive that gets the contents of my 160GB internal one backed up onto it every few weeks

[Proplus]

Lets see.....

3 x 250Gb
9 x 120Gb
1 x 40Gb
4 x 80Gb
1 x 20Gb

so that makes 2210Gb spread across 7 PCs.

[ice]

Counting all my machines I have a decidedly average 309GB.

[shiato storm]

not wanting to sound like a noob - but inevitably I probably will, is it possible to hook-up SATA and ide drives on the mobo at the same time or is it all one or the other?

[menthel]

I have 120gb in my shuttle, 160gb in an icybox, 40gb in a random external box and 30gb in my lappy!
