How Much Room Have You Got On Your Pc ?

[Steven McL]

Since the majority constantly download from KaZaa I'm curious as to how much room you have on your computers.

Currently i've only got a 40GB hard drive but due to this rapidly filling up a 200GB one will be ordered in a week or so

Let me know what you've got :) ... Steven.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Out of 80GBs I got 25GB left.

[camille]

You've got a big hd, don't store movies.

[mooseman2070]

40GB not looking to upgrade

[bob_the_alien]

I've got a 60gig, and 31gig free.

I do want to upgrade though, but not because of space, I just want a HDD with 8mb of cache. :D

[abu_has_the_power]

i've got 84 gig free from my 120 gb and 1 gb free from my 30 gb one

[bluedevil]

60 gig...12 gig free :)

[Mr. Blunt]

Damn! Everyone has big ass HD's.

Mine's only 3.72GB. I need to upgrade.....badly. I only have 1.06GB left. :angry: This HD's is still from my first computer (which was purchased in '98.) My dad's friend who recently upgraded my computer didn't even bother to upgrade the HD. :rolleyes:

go to them black friday sales next year. u'll get a 200 gb hd for maybe $10. that's possible. this year, they sold 120 gb maxtors for $50

[clocker]

Right now I have about 130GB free out of 160GB.
Since I did my last CD backup and built this new rig I've spent all my time screwing with the hardware and very little time actually using the damn thing.

I did manage to find the time to update my South Park collection though...I think I'm completely up to date now. Does anyone know if 711-Casa Bonita is the last episode?

total for the array: $500 approx

Right you are ...712- All About Mormons.

You got four 160GB HDDs for under $500? that's a good deal...

western digital 8mb cache for 99 after rebates ( i got my rebates all back so im good)

very reliable

mobo with dual raid (soyo) was an extra 99 (on sale)

[TheFilePirater]

6GB-30MB Free
13GB-1.45GB Free

[lynx]

Why do people keep wanting to know how much free space I&#39;ve got?

What difference does it make to you? You don&#39;t know what I use it for, or if it varies a lot. You certainly aren&#39;t going to get the chance to use any of it. The only thing that matters is how much space YOU&#39;VE got left, and whether you think it is enough.

I&#39;m fed up of these "mine&#39;s bigger than your&#39;s" type topics.

[reignking]

then don&#39;t reply...

edit: oh yeah... i have 50 gigs free out of 80.

[lynx]

Yeah, but we have to crawl through all the crap you post whores leave lying about.

my total size is 114 gb

[bob_the_alien]

Not to start another of the I hate company post (But I will anyway :P )

I hate the fact companies are doing that, buy a (whatever size) and you end up with gigabytes less, I know you lose some data in formatting, but now I&#39;ve heard that it&#39;s because companies are using 1000 as the number mbs in a gig, instead of 1024. So no matter the size or what you lose in formatting, you still losing 24 megabytes a gig, just because of the damn companies manufacturing the things.

Ahh well, no more rants, at least not tonight.

[ricochet]

I got 31 gb out of a 60 gb hd, and 14 gb left out of a 40 gb hd, thats all I use it is for is sharing.

BTW. You will love the 8mb catch on a hd.

[ZaZu]

I&#39;ve got 9.17GB free of 13.9GB on my C: drive
11.7 GB of 74.5 GB on my D: my storage drive
the G: drive 1.95 GB is empty, I&#39;m going to put Linux on someday
B)

[Kunal]

20gb out of 60 left

[Schmiggy_JK23]

I have 260 gigs.

one maxtor 80 gb drive, ata133
one ibm 180 gb gxp 8mb cache drive.

about 16 gigs left on each one... ;)

guess i gotta get that dvd burner this week or next, and start backing shit up.

couldn&#39;t agree more :)

p.s. i have about 25 or so GB free from a total of 200GB (1x120GB + 1x80GB), though i&#39;m looking at getting a 160GB external drive soon :-"

[jetje]

every time i need room i just ad a new floppy in the diskdrive and get another 1,4 mb free space :P

[nanotek]

i got 1 80gb - 50gb free and 1 180gb -with 80gb free


both from ibm and 8 mb cache

[Timz]

100 gigs/ 17 left

[peat moss]

60 GB with 52.7gb left but im very anal I had a 4gb before LOL

[bigdawgfoxx]

What exactly will the 8MB cache do? Send data reallly fast and stuff? Like does having 8MB of cache allow stuff to load faster and stuff? like opening up progs off the HDD?

[SciManAl]

hehee lol dawg the more cache you have the better buffer you have between your harddrive and your mobo... that buffer can determine your sped of data transfer throughout the system if you go skimpy on it...

btw i have a raid set up of 2 250 gigers (new word :P )
and only about 50 gs left

gotta share P2P man&#33;&#33;

8 mb cache, to put it easily, will make ur hd run much faster. it&#39;ll load large files faster

[Robert00000]

I have two PC&#39;s. First has two hard drives 120Gb and 80Gb, but only have 6 gigs free. I have too many tv programs on it and cant be bothered to convert them to watch on dvd player.

Second PC, this one (an older model) i have 80gigs and about another 6 gig free.

I really need to back up the stuff i have on to disk otherwise the space will disappear soon :o

But my prob. is do i convert the tv progs i&#39;ve recorded so i can watch them on my dvd player or just copy them on data format <_<

I need to think very hard :angry:

[Robert00000]

Oh yes, i forgot to mention, i could delete the useless partition i&#39;m testing windows longhorn on and gain another 20 gigs on this PC :D

Actually, if they are using the metric means of a GB 1,000,000 Bytes, as opposed to the Binary, then you would be losing 72MB, for every GB they claim, so I just multipled 72 Times my 120 Supposed GB, and got nearly 9 GB, 120 - 9 = 111GB, which is why i only have 111GB.

I suddenly really hate WD.

Oops :o problem solved, i accidently turned off the power on my older pc (with 80 gigs) when using partition magic (dos mode) to free up space. I freed up more space than i intended - damaging data on the drive, so had to reformat it.

On the down side i have to download the movies i damaged, but hey i&#39;ve gained 72 gigs :D
