Kid's Football = Lotsa Video

by sleuthke - 11/11/05 5:55 AM In reply to: What takes up the most space on your hard drive? by Marc Bennett Moderator

Video of my two sons' football games takes up the majority of my video space. Roughly 100 Gb.

I record with mini-DV and transfer via firewire from camera to computer. Each game is about 5 - 6 Gb.

Photos, most of the time

by TomG - 11/11/05 6:01 AM In reply to: What takes up the most space on your hard drive? by Marc Bennett Moderator

As a photographer I have about 200 GB of photos on a mirror RAID, further duplicated on an external drive. At around 7MB per 8MP RAW file, and 50-200 MB per photoshop file I am working on, it stacks up very quickly, despite cleaning out the rubbish every now and then!
Other stuff like video is less precious and easliy backed up to DVDs, but the photos need to be accessible from my database.

900 gigabytes and growing...

by piercedtiger - 11/11/05 6:16 AM In reply to: What takes up the most space on your hard drive? by Marc Bennett Moderator

Not all of it's video. Some of it's games loaded on my xbox's 250gig drive, and about 20gig's are for MP3's. But probably close to 300 gigs are dedicated to video. That will be growing once my external storage is up and running again so I can get rid of duplicates.

DISE_BACKUP - 10GB out of a total of 80

What exactly does this do? I've tried reading on the net but the only thing I can find out is it's related to recovery somehow. Can this somehow be shrunk as it doesn't seem to grow?
