What do the 1TB+ people have filling their HDD's?

Just as the title says. What do the 1TB+ people have filling their HDD's?

[echow87]

high definition videos....1 hour = 15gb~

[mulpsmebeauty]

Copious amounts of hardcore pornography on hidden partitions, I suspect.

I think you're on to something. I have yet to fill over 100GB in total. Most of the time i hover around 70-80GB usage......and only 1 or 2 GB of pron ;)

[Daynja]

Full DVD9 movies.

[acascianelli]

mp3's and bootleg software :D

[ambit]

Multiple full backups of other machines on the network.

[nylint]

mp3's, cd images, tv rips i made and PVR stuff, network shares for my roommates to dump their stuff, backups of other machines on the network, uncompressed DV.

[icemochalatte]

How much of the space are you really using?

[Bullitt]

pr0n....

[Jasonx82]

Whewwww. Im not alone :p ;) :D

pr0n....

[Treyshadow]

Virtual copies (Alcohol 120% images) of every game I own/play!

Also Applications, DVD's and Lanparty Images of 5 other machines in my computer room.

[hound]

Programs, movies, music, and many backups. I'm a back-up freak, and I'm always afraid of drive failure, so I pretty much have a hard drive each for movies, music, and system/programs, and then a hard drive for each as back-up, as well as another drive to back-up my other two systems. Am I using all the space on any of those? No, but I do have the peace of mind that all my hard won data is safe? Sure. Am I slightly insane? Yes. Is this all just a lie to cover for my huge pr0n collection? Hell yeah. ;)

[Stinger836]

I use my 1.4TB to store about 300GB of porn (mostly for bragging rights), copies of programs and operating systems and then DVD rips of most any movie I can get my hands on.

[magnetik]

I use it for music (ripped to wav from vinyl) and videos I rip from my replaytv box or other replay boxes.

[Cactus Jack]

Illegal warez and scat/goat porn of course.* Duh.

I use my 1tb for lossless audio and mp3s. 300gb of mp3s and the rest is lossless. :)



* - Har har I made a funny.

[klowngoblin]

i would assume pr0nz, but for me i would use it for business (backups of ppls HDDs)

[k1114]

I'd guess porn and video (mostly both at once)

[xonik]

Full movies, lossless audio, and backups of said media totals over 4 TB in my system.

[Zepher]

I've got 600gigs of storage and I have about 40gigs free. I am waiting on my blank DVD-R's to arrive so I can offload a bunch of these files.

[Jasonx82]

edit I dont know what was wrong with me last night... moo :p

[TimmerUK]

My entire DVD collection, and large amounts of porn....



tsk tsk tsk - Ice Czar

[TheGeneral]

i have a 1.5TB RAID 5 subsystem here at my job, we use it mostly for storing huge digital image files and packages, also for general storage if its needed

[Ice Czar]

Multiple full backups of other machines on the network.

+ ISOs of DVDs, and CDs
+ graphics files, big .tiff and .raw
+ 10GB of compressed music and 200GB of encoded video

all kept on RAID5 arrays, and the data also burned to hard media as well

[LBFlashWiz]

350Gb of music (72k songs)

100Gb in porn

140Gb in Games

120Gb in installed applications

200Gb of Backup files from work

:-)

[Ice Czar]

OK I guess a list of things you shouldnt confess too is in order :rolleyes:

you buy a DVD of a season worth of TV shows, you can back it up
download the same TV shows or even grab em off the air, you dont hold a license

buy a DVD of your favorite movie, you can back it up
rent the same movie, and again you again dont hold a license

obviously refrain from term like warez, bootleg ect


thank you the management

[LadyJaqie]

I only hold 320GB of space so far but its near full already :rolleyes:
its filled with backups of games I have, movies I have backed up, ghosts of my main systems, game patch files, etc etc.
I buy something first thing I do is make an image to my hard drive to have an online backup then a CDR of it, then I store the original on a spindle. use the online image where applicable (like alcohol120 etc) and when not (like ghost for example and yes I did buy it like all my other stuff, would you like to see the reciept? :rolleyes: ) I use the CDR disc, when and if it gets messed up I burn from the image. hard drive failure? I restore / reimage from the original. CDR goes bad? original. ive only had one failure, ut2k3 CD1, the media (label) side got scratched somehow, I never figured a way out to copy that disc, and it got ruined *cry* but I finally got another copy of it. yes I DID BUY IT want to see the reciept and a pic of the discs and manual? :rolleyes:

anyways... that, after a while, takes a lot of CDR/DVDR and HD space. it all adds up.

[chinaboy1021]

filled with bragging rights. :rolleyes:

[Ice Czar]

well after education and troubleshooting, bragging (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=851144) is what makes tech forums run :p

just think where would the world be without one-up-manship, competition and greed?
Some sore of horrible idyllic utopia without want, war or video games :p

[God_Of_Death]

anime movies, series, OST's. also scifi TV series, live action movies, thousands of mp's...........software of all kinds and of most era's :p

[PawNtheSandman]

Full wrestling matches. Each one comes out to about a 1gb or more. Right now I am at over 600gb of wrestling stuff. Then I have my mp3's, programs, dvd rips, and of course those useful programs like office, photoshop, and encoders and decrypters.

[twistacatz]

I have it for all of the above reasons, plus your not leet unless you have one. :cool:

[Ice Czar]

again, lets not practise self-incrimination regarding copyrighted material you dont have a license for :rolleyes:

once again, TV Shows that you backup from media you own
give a little thought to your phrasing, if its ambigious,
then the benefit of the doubt will be given
pay per views aint on media

I dont want to have to lock this, but I will at the next such confession

the terabyte club aint what it used to be
back when, you browned out the local grid spinning up the array :p
guess we'll need to start an exabyte club :D

[RikuS]

If I had a TB or more of hd space I'd fill it with 1k text files each containing a different recipe for egg salad.

Post of the year.

[Trepidati0n]

Maybe it should become the 10T club....that way people can still keep their ego filled.

10T wouldn't cost "that" much. 4 7 Drive Raid fives on 400GB drives in Raid5 would only run yah probally around 15k to setup.

[Chaotic Master]

DVD's Compressed to fit on a single DVD with DVD Shrink. Except for classics which are left uncompressed. Heading to whatever 2x186GB in usage. Still have 6 empty Seagate 200GB SATA forn newegg empty $100 each. ;) . Just need a raid 5 card and meedio essentials. Do you see were im going with this ?


Oh and a magical 100GB of prOn that keeps appearing in my azureus folder :confused:

[swatbat]

Enough porn to solve the worlds problems and give us world peace.

Most of mine space is dvds and movies that I then can stream to xboxs around the house. Use it to offload stuff from my replay tvs also.

[Brando457]

My computer is filled with lots and lots of animal porn and cartoon porn. Joking) I have a bunch of backups of my dvds, games, music cds, and programs. I used to have a total of 800 gigs and then one of my hds failed so I was at 600, then another failed. Bad luck I guess. Now I have approx 400 gigs

[Scheizekopf]

Right now I only have about 800 gigs between all of my systems.

I'm working on making a new filer server with 4 x (250, 300, or 400 gig drives). Should be sweet!!

[Captboom]

I myself have a total of 6 TB of disk storage atm

It will soon be 8 when we replace the hardrives in one of the machines with 400 gb sata drives.


Fact is i highly doubt any of you can even come close to the storage capacity i have at my disposal. I am truely HARD.

[isp]

:rolleyes:

when WE replace...

who's we? ;)

Don't tell me you're bragging about hardware you don't own... :o :p
