How much space do you have used on movies only?
Also if you can, how many movies does it count for.

For me....

529GB = 201 movies (a mix of xvid, dvdr and hddvd/bluray)

I only have 20GB left, so I need to buy a new hard drive very soon. Thinking of getting a Western Digital 1TB drive.

Currently I have 3 500gb MyBooks External HDD's and all of them are @ at least 85% full ATM. I also have 3 internal drives 2 @ 380 gigs and 1 @ 500 gigs. The internal 500gig is about 3/4 full and 1 of the 380's is maxed out the last 380 has my os on it with the programs and some video editing stuffon it. Whew Yeah I need a new HD too but I think Im going to wait until the USB 3.0 comes out and get a whole new box :)

MyBooks are great... I currently have a 500gb and a 160gb. They haven't given me any problems at all so far. Probably going to get another 500 by the beginning of next year.

145gb currently on my harddisk(s) and about 600gb on external hdd's. The latter value are an estimate, I'm too lazy to go attaching them now.

i dont have a ton of space, [500gb], so i usually keep 100gb free to store and convert movies before burning.

Donvito I highly HIGHLY recommend if you are burning movies for yourself STOP it and cough up less than $60 and get yourself a Divx player you can fit 4 sometimes 5 movies on a single dvd without loss of quality check some out on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_i_0/105-9644007-9866034?ie=UTF8&rs=&keywords=divx%20players&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Adivx%20players%2Ci%3Aelectronics). DUDE believe me it is so worth it. Now I don't have to convert 5hit. Just burn the files on the dvd using Ultra ISo it takes about 8-9 min ATM so try it out man you wont regret it

I don't reserve space for movies. Just delete them when the disc is full. :P
