I'll be purchasing a 500GB FW800 external drive soon for video editing/archiving.

its spread out between 2 internal hard drives and 6 external(usb and firewire). I like the externals for dedicated storage, for example i have a 30gig drive dedicated for all my music, a 250gig for all my music videos clips, ect. ect..
(NT) I have 250GB in 1 hard drive in my Vista.

A pair of SATA 300 units, more than enough for any home base.

There was a time when people only had copies of precious hardware drivers, rare shell tools and years of source code (self-written) on their harddrives. The ~200MB harddrives at the time were more than enough for these. Even now, if you have a large collection of these, they'd still not be much larger than they used to be 20 years ago.
Then came bigger and bigger harddrives and the PC was demoted to the level of a household TV. Harddrive space is now mostly used to store movies, images and music... multimedia stuff, in one form or another. For the majority, the PC is no longer a device used to do your own computations but one in which to do other people's computations. Video and image editing, converting or ripping music, playing games and using the internet are the new primary functionalities of a PC.
None of these tasks require the users to have an ability even to create a little program of their own. If they did, I'm sure there'd be a lot less computer users today.
It makes you wonder what other existing components of a computer could be made bigger or faster to accommodate primates and dolphins into the buyer market. Maybe nothing at all and it just needs a good marketing strategy!

2 X 160 Gig fixed, 1 X 160Gig USB external. One fixed is partitioned into 140 (C) & 20 (F), the other is data only, no OS.The external is mainly for backup of C drive , the XP OS drive.

I use a Dell E510, 4GB ram, 80mb drive with a 320GB and a 250GB external drive. No need to keep extra files on the main drive--archive them. It runs much faster and when you need older files--switch on the external drive and take what you need.
3 Harddrives (working)
by OttifantSir - 6/23/07 2:31 AM In reply to: How much total hard-drive space do you have? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
I have two external Western Digital MyBook Essential Edition of 320 GB (298 GibiByte) and one internal harddrive of 120 GB (111.98 GibiByte) a total of 718 GiB or 760 GB.
Also have an 80 GB harddrive in an ICYBOX that's currently not working.
Planning on buying even more storage, as I have around 140 GB free.
Multiple Hard Drives @ 1Tb+

I have the 250Gb (7200) that came with the beast;
I added a 500Gb (7200) to that and followed that up with a 500Gb removable. I am considering a further 500Gb fixed drive to create RAID, but have been chewing on that for a couple of months now.
I also have a 160Gb laptop and use a 200 Gb USB drive attached.
All of this is networked to a further 2x250 Gb drive on my old computer. One problem, even with all this storage, I seem to be always having to be ultra-critical about what I can save and what I have to dispose of. I have a lot of video and about 25,000 @ about 10 mp in raw files. Eats space!
