what size is your hard drive - Page 3

igalan · 06-26-2003, 06:39 AM

I have one 80 GB 7200 rpm Seagate Barracuda. I do VHS to DVD so I need a lots of GB and a fast drive

. As soon as Serial ATA (true SATA) hdd are more affordable I may add another drive.

Mine own PC has 40G split 2 partition used exclusivelt for WinXP and a 2nd 40G used for Linux.
Son's PC has 3 HDs (4G for XP, 13G used for misc stuff and 80G for music and video editing.
Both PC are networked..

Hey guys, you are not saving the energy....I prefer 1X120G than 2X60G or 4X30G. The formula is: 1PC-1HDD.......Save the energy you know "Amazonia burns - can you hear them...." :-)

i have well over 100 gig of media, i wouldnt like risking it on the same harddrive as windows even with a partion, and why get shot of a perfectly good 60 gig when most motherboards are equipt to handle four drives? ( i say most because one of mine handles 8 drives at a time without any addon's).

i say 2 x 60 gig is better than 1 x 120 gig, that way if something fails you only loose half your data, not all of it.

I think I have about 120 gigs, but not all that sure.... hehe Adding the partitions up isn't on my list of things to do today either.

In main PC I have 1x 40GB Maxtor 7200rpm, 1x 80GB Western digital 7200rpm, and 2x 15GB Quantums in removable bays to switch O/S with ease (And transport files between PC's quicker).

Other machine has a 15GB Maxtor.

overlord999 · 08-12-2003, 05:15 PM

I have 40 GB (XP pro) master, 120 GB slave + a 40 GB( for 98SE & OS backups), all removable, Maxtor 7200rpm.

ajtip · 08-29-2003, 09:01 AM

I have two WD 80 GB drives in a raid 1 config. A little slower on writes, but no worries about backups!

olddood · 09-14-2003, 11:42 AM

Righr now I have a 40 gig ata 133 maxtor (boot), and an 80 gig ata 133 maxtor (slave). Soon hope to get another 80 gig and set up RAID, and format the 40 for backup.

boozehound · 09-29-2003, 06:23 PM

I currently have a 40.0 GB Maxtor & a new 80.0 GB Seagate Barracuda.

no1uknow · 09-30-2003, 02:34 PM
