Click to expand...

I have 600 gigs right now in my current PC w/ 2 hard drives and I only have about 30 gigs of free space.

I rip all my music and lots of my DVDs to my computer and have it hooked up to my TV.
 
IDE, I can only have two IDE devices, those are my CD/DVD drives. I don't want to put in a card, if I went with another drive I would go with SATA. The Circuit City in my area had a sale on the Sandisk flash drives and I picked a 2Gb up for $19.99, the Kingston 2Gb are $49.99. This isn't the cheap model, it is the Cruzer micro. I have 2 other flash drives that are Cruzer Titanium, I love the Sandisk Cruzers.
 
similer here. *me points to his sig :P
already have around 1tb in this pc, and not that much free. i'm always downloading movies, cartoons, and any tv shows i like watching.

i just ordered 3 of those (wish i could have afforded 5 of em. hopefully they will still be on sale in two weeks :P). plan to put them in USB enclosures so i can store all the downloaded stuff on them as external drives instead of spending the tons of time to burn it all to dvds.


the only possible problem i can see with them is that the SV series is designed for computers running as video surveillance systems so there geared for constant read/write activity by surveillance applications. i'm assuming they'd work fine as normal hard drives as well since they are ide. if not, well, back to newegg they go :P

Lol, I never do any of that stuff. After 1 year of using the PC for gaming, web browsing, video editing, ect, ect, if I reformat my computer everything would still be there... I keep all my stuff on a 1.5GB backup HDD
 
Wow i know 500gb would be out of this world overkill for me...but 1.5gb geez i couldn't survive on that haha
 
Does Windows have a limit for HDD space? I know I plug USB HDD's up at different times, and still have 2.5Tb worth of pics. But does Windows XP Pro or Vista have a limit of installed storage space? I doubt it but figured I would make sure.
 
i really don't think it does seeing how the space is defined by separate drive letters. so even if there was a limit, it would be on a per drive basis.

like back in win3.1 times when hard drives had to be partitioned if they were over 30mb or the space beyond 30mb couldn't be accessed. don't remember if it was 30mb, but i remember there being a limit that partitioning got around.
