Hard Drive?
My Lap Top has 30gb with a 250 gb external drive.
On my desktop I have a 80gb and a 120gb drive.
And they are nearly all full :(

A 40 gig with win2k pro installed and 2x160 gig for storage and apps. I still remember the day I bought my first 1gb hard drive and wondered how the fuck I was ever gonna fill it ;)
Drive C: = 120gb, WinXP Pro + all installed software. Drive D: = 160gb, My Documents folder + all my data, music etc.
I'm down to about 4gb on my D: drive since I discovered BitTorrent for getting the latest Stateside TV shows 
saving up for a 300gb!
:(

Jobs a good Un !
My 80 GB Powerbook has a little over 40GB on it External 250GB has about 150GB 20 GB Ipod 16GB
Then countless unlabeled back up DVDs.. 
you know, you can always DELETE things, or at least BURN and save large files. people treat their computer like my mom treats her basement

So how big is that damn thing?
not big at all
c is like 10 GB and d is 28.5
I suck!
The Beast has a 180 GB. Room for more HDs. The SOny a 40 GB recently reformated (empty). 80 GB external full of NO boots.
Thinking about getting a pc solely dedicated to music.
I didn't realise we were doing the breakdown.....
DOS-XP machine....
C: 20GB, windows and all music apps and programs one needs to make windows tolerable. D: 60GB Games E: 75GB instrument sound banks, audio projects and a few GB kept free for those tiresome Big Jobs. F: whatever all that leaves when taken away from 200, to you and me, probably 45GB, but to windows god knows. Here I keep installers for essential apps along with My Documents and so on...anything I don't want to lose when I have to roll back a broken system.
Linux machine looks like this. If you know how unix handles partitions, all the better, but if you AREN'T Melly, think of each line as being C: d: e: and so on.

My mother's Dell has a 6 GB HD! The guy who built my pc has a server that Qwest used prior to Y2K. It has 4 HDs totaling 4 GB! Gotta love Pent IIs.

Fair dos. I suppose that I do at least have another similarly sized unit upstairs which I can use when necessary or if the mood takes me - I suppose technically I could use both at once... Although that would just be unnatural... What was the point of this thread again?

it was one of many of dell's "free upgrades" at the time. actually i don't know why they don't just make it part of their standard package. everytime i see their ads they read, if you buy now you'll get a free hard drive and monitor upgrade.
I've a 40 in Fred (the main machine) and a 20 and a 25 in Ginger, his mp3 server. I really don't need massive hard drives because even though I have a scary amount of data sitting on DVDs, I only keep what's currently necessary on either computer, and clean it all up every few weeks.
Though, with the same of 200g's for 100 @ the local office supply store, I may just have to go pick one up to shuttle into the server so I can free up a 25 gig'er for a computer I've been working on for a friend to learn on.
(Subsequently, the smallest hard disk I own is a 300 MB one out of an old 486-DX I owned back in the early 90s.)

Green,your avatar is not in the least scaring me.In fact Scarlett is giving me a full on robot chubby.
160 GB, nearly as full as an egg.
I've got a 200 GB external drive as well, but I'm using it for back-up, so there's not much more free space on it.
Hey, Ronald - at work today, so I now have a much bigger piece of equipment at my disposal... Only problem is I have let to colleagues play with it as well... :wink3:

looks like the worst bit is that we can't use animated gifs anymore, the one I got is of Scarlett being groped by that gay interviewer on some recent red carpet event. just doesn't translate very well now.....:(
