How much HDD Space does your Computer have?

[Dahir]

I'm beginning to think that my 9GB is not something I can work with past September, but then there may be people who run entire businesses on 5GB - don't laugh, its highly possible.

Out of curiousity, how much HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Space does your Computer have?

As salaamu aalykum,

Out of curiousity, how much HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Space does your Computer have?

And just outta curiousity Akhee.. Where D'you check to see this!!??

[lolwatever]

x Hundred gig

[Samee]

I gotta go with Woodrow here...

[Woodrow]

right now I have 5 hdd's on mine for a total of 1,650 gigabytes. That is way more than what most people need I use 500 gigs strictly for storage space. 250 Gigs is used to to run XP and a bunch of games I put on for the grand kids. The other 900 gigs is used for various periphial stuff. I have all kinds of junk on it for saving radio/TV broadcasts etc, I have a lot of wireless stuff set up so I can net work with mydaughters PC.
I don't get out much so the PC is pretty much my window on the world. I also have a lot of books saved on it, Which are Mostly audio and visual Qur'ans, Hadeeth, Arabic Language courses, So although the HDD space seems too high, I will probably have to add a few more drives. I only have enough space left for 3 more internal drives, but have plenty of room for external ones. I do have 3 external USB HDD drives, One is just a total back up of my operating system and major programs.

Here's a Pictorial Step-by-Step:

NOTE: Don't mind the Pic Quality, I downsized the quality BitMap to upload it - I run WindowsXP, not Windows 95...

I think you have unsightly and imperial plans on that computer of yours. I just hope the world is aware of your intentions...

No...my graphics are normal, they just looked like trash when I posted them because I changed the BitMap settings so I could upload them properly.

Here is a screen shot of what happens when I click on my computer. Instead of showing the 5 fixed drives seperatly, take my word they add up to 1,650 gigs. The array I have them in the first 3 drives are in a RAID configuration and work in tandem with eachother and act like a single SATA drive with 900 gigs. The 2 WD drives Slaves one is 500 gigs the other is 250 gigs. So it acts like a 3 drive SATA with one 900 gig master and the 2 sloves. Below is the removable drives that I currently have hooked up. I can add up to a total of 234 external drives by piggy backing the USB2 ports.

I shouldn't run out of space for at least a week .



I lost the quality on the screen shot when I shrunk it. I should have left it in the bitmap format. My error

I just checked, and I have 145 GB total- 129 Free.

Are you afraid to list your HDD space?

[Woodrow]

Now for the Irony. I'm in an area where High speed internet Isn't available. so my poor dial up speed is a max of 56 kbs, but quite often it is 28 and sometimes down to 14. I have enough space to hold the Congressional library and it takes me a week to down load a smilie gif. I might have a bigger PC, but you sure can surf the web faster than I can.

[Dahir]

It's 80 GB

I only have 9GB, you sadistic _______ <----fill in the blanks...ffended:

I feel happy now, but not that happy - Alpha gets fast internet and a huge HDD.

For internet usage Alpha is in much better shape than I am in. Fortunatly I need most of my space for off line stuff other wise it would be a waste. But, when we finaly do get high speed, watch out world.
