How many GBs of storage do you have?

[ditoy_eagle]

I recall the days when my system drive was only 1 gig, with the presence of the big 360Kb capacity 5.25" floppy disk. And years later when the Zip drive 100mb cartirdge was introduced - Whoooa! Hayop yan ahh!

With technology advancements thru the years, storage space has become bigger in smaller packages- 4Gb CF cards, 80Gb 2.5" drives, 40Gb iPod, 1Gb SD card etc...We see these used with all our gadgets - laptop, PDA, digital camera, mp3 player. And these are just our portable devices, what more with our desktops - external drives like the Lacie 250Gb, recent SATA drives, not to mention connection to an office server!

I am sure that we will be surprised to realize how many Gigs of data we both carry around, and have in our desktops. Let's not include servers and networks to limit this. I will start-

Home Desktop
Internet PC: 40gb
5.25" Drivebay: 40gb
External 5.25 firewire drive:80gb
TOTAL: 160gb

Studio Office Desktop
System drive: 40gb
Drive D and E: 80gb
5.25" Drivebay: 40gb
TOTAL: 160gb

Mobile setup
Albook 17" 1.33: 80Gb
iPod: 40Gb
External portable firewire: 60Gb
Toshiba P-25 17": 80Gb
External Usb/Firewire drive: 80Gb
Microdrive: 1Gb
TOTAL: 341gb! Whew!

Desktop Mac: 80gb, with external 80gb FW drive for 160gb total (with 40gb SCSI Raid-0 coming soon! Thanks again, Bob!)
Powerbook: 60gb
iBook: 10gb
iPod: 20gb
Desktop PC :sick: : 120gb online (80gb in Raid-0 config) , with 4 non-hotswappable external 40gb ATAPI drives (280gb total)
Sony Vaio :sick: : 10gb


That's over half a terabyte of storage all in all. Damn, what do I need all of that for? :brick:

I still remember the days when 500MB was HUGE..

Mobile - 40Gigs
Firewire - 80Gigs
TOTAL - 120Gigs

I seriously need more space...

[wpalomine]

Not enough, never enough!

[berniej]

iBook=30 Gb
iPod=10 Gb
Office Desktop=40 Gb
Office Mail=16 Gb (it pays to be a sysadmin)
Office Data Storage(server-based)=120 Gb(it really pays to be a sysadmin)
Office Data Storage(Shark-based)=upwards of 2 Terrabytes(it absolutely pays to be a sysadmin) :blush:

200GB total (80GB + 120GB). I think I'm gonna need an additional 120GB in the near future. Good thing my MDD Power Mac still has space for a couple more hard drives. :-)

pbook: 40GB
ipod: 40GB
office hdd: 80GB + 250GB + 2x80GB (on server) + 20x20GB (shared drives off one lab) + 20x20GB (another lab)

TOTAL: 1370GB of space.

PMG4-867 :
-> 60g + 40g + 120g = 220g
PMG4-733 :
-> 40g + 80g = 120g

iMac DV FP = 40g
12"Albook =40g
PB Lombard = 30g
Cutie Firewire = 30g
USB Pockey = 10g
Imagetank = 30g

PCz No1 = 60g + 80g + 80g = 220g
PCz No2 = 30g + 80 (Two 40g in PCI IDE Raid 0) + 10g

Still I need more... next project is a firewire external RAID enclosure with two 120gb drive with 8mb cache or just a PCI IDE RAID for the PMG4 867. This really ain't enough when handling dv files/projects.

If the Lord will provide... sell the two G4's and get a dual G5!!! (partly a dream) and start all over again using SATA drives :haha:

[danieldy]

Powerbook- 40GB Internal, 120GB FW Ext HD

10GB iPod (headphone jack broken)
20GB iPod

Powermac- 80GB + 120GB

Desktop PC (doubles as a file server)- 120GB + 120GB

(Personal) 190GB + (Family) 440GB = 630GB

albook = 60, ipod = 40, mini ipod = 4 and that's about the size of it[/i] :music:
