So how big of a man are you?

Because we all know... the bigger your hard drive.........................the more stuff you can store.

Eh. Only 75 gigs here.

120 GB! OH YEAH! I WINz0rZ!

Heh, kidding. XP takes up 18 GB anyway, so it really isn't as much as it sounds. Besides, I don't need all this space, I'd offer to trade ya if all the info required to format my hard drive wasn't on it.

Aren't you a big gamer though, it would seem all that space would come in handy.

As for me, I think 75 gigs is a little too much as it is, 'cause I don't really need the space.
Of course one day, I'll probably eat my words for saying that.

Jesus Christ, I only have 56 GB.

I'm getting more soon though.

18 gig. I don't want to waste time/money upgrading my piece of shit.

If by 'gamer' you mean 'Final Fantasy XI obsessive', then you're correct. I'm too afraid of viruses to download a lot of things, and I can only afford one monthly payment-type game at a time (most online non-monthly payment USUALLY suck). So yeah, we probably have the same deal. "Don't need it now, gonna punch ourselves later".

XP takes up around 1.5GB of space.

Personally? I have a 200GB drive in my main comp, a 180GB in my fileserver, a 120GB in my secondary, and an 80GB in my thirdiary. The rest are 20GB or smaller.

1.5GB?! HOLY CRAP! I HAVE 17.5GB WORTH OF HOMELESS PROGRAMS ON MY COMPUTER!

Meh, probably from all the "Hot New Music" offers all over my desktop when I restore my hard drive.

i have a 40gb hd in my laptop, but my freind has 2 100gb hds in a raid on his comp

Damn. Only 60GB. I will get more. Mark my words. 0_<

lol i don't think anyone saw this. everyones all "omg only 60 gigZ?"

my hardrive is 160 GB. I love my computer

I have the pleasure of having 76.3. gp! I guess im in the middle :/ I have 71.2 gp but I dont know where the crap is thats taking up so much space. It sucks that for max use outta XP, you need at least 512 mb of ram. my pc got 256 but the sound card makes us only have 236 to work with

You know what I want, a PETAbyte. I look forward to this amount in 300 years.

thats a hell of alot of gigs. some web sites have such huge dl's, that they have collected 1000+ gigs from ppl ust downloading their stuff :/

acutaly, i got a friend who has a pentabyte. he got 4 250 maxtor all on raid. but then he also has over 500 movies, and 200 gig of music on his computer. i envey him. me i only got 2 180 gig on raid. so bout 360 gig 4 me.

That's a Terabyte. A Petabyte is 1024 Terabytes I believe.

1024? Why the extra 24?

u are correct aron.. as allways... and omg i want to go about 50 years in the future just cus of like new advancements in like quantom computing and cybernetics.. omg why was i born when i was... i am in the wrong time era...

and to Jaego... computers use binary which is ones and zeros.. becuase liek in hard drives.. things can only be 1 or 0 so to mazimize it things are 2 to the power of whatever.. 1024 is 2^.. i think 10..? but anyway.. its allways 1024 not 1000 really.

According to Moore's Law (which has held true for Hard drives as well) ... with current Hard Drives being 350GB... Should take about 18 Years to hit 1 Petabyte Hard drive, my new Sup at work has a "server" at home that has 6 200GB Hard drives in it (approx 1.1TB) , with a DVD-ROM and DVD-RW...

Also in computing terms everything is Base 2... but when you read the size of a hard drive... 1 billion bytes is 1 GB... not 1,073,741,824 bytes on how they deside how much is there... that's why a 100GB hard drive is only 95.37GB actually ... problem is that extra number keeps falling off but will catch up eventually, 14TB is actually over 15 trillion bytes...

I have 40Gb and 80Gb at home, and locally I have 40Gb and 200Gb shared access at work.

i got a 200 gb hd in my new computer i just built, and a 40 in my laptop

I have a 250GB drive doing nothing. At some point I'll image my drive over to it. Maybe tomorrow.
