Just checked 300GB free on drive D: and I have 495GB in one directory!
-
495gb??? thats alot of naughty stuff, you hosting your own site? ;D ;D ;D
is it a lappy or pc?
-
300Gb free doesn't make it critical, can't see you filling that overnight...
Be careful if you go above 2Tb if you insist on using Operating Systems from yesteryear.

Hmmm, I guess you'll say my 900Gb in one folder is excessive then ::)
That drive really does require replacement - 1.5Tb, and utterly full :-[

It is a PC
62GB of DVD images
Over 500GB of DV encoded AVIs, nothing over 14GB, as I cut into subjects of material. About 80% of my SLF1 tapes and about 20% of my Mini DV Tapes
All my HDV stuff is on C:

Thinking of a 1.5TB or 2TB (not The Boy ;D ;D ;D ;D) Samsung drive

Is this the media PC?

slap in another drive, and move the "homemovies" to the new drive, you can use the partition manager to organise the new drive whichever way you like, its pretty handy once you get the hang of it.
I used Norton Ghost for all my games, made the boot drive far quicker.

Yeah. Thats a Samsung spinpoint. Had a lot of success with them.

I don't partition drives at 14GB per hour, but need new editing software as mine is not HDV compatible.
The old one is being donated to a pink member here if he is still interested.

dont touch the IBM drives, Samsung are excellent quality and value. the seagate ones come on both 7200 and 5400rpm, supposedly power saving... :-/

Got 2 Samsung 1TBs currently
Lovely and quiet

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
shfs 6.1T 5.0T 1.1T 82% /mnt/user
;D
I have a couple of 1.5TB Seagate drives that run nice and cool, and some 1TB DeathStar drives that run much hotter.. I'll probably get some more 2TB Seagate 3-platter drives next time around.. so far they've all proved quite reliable, though the enclosure does keep them nice and cool (26C now, 28C for the DeathStars)

What is on yours?
Mine has DV encoded copies of quite a few L500 Pro-Xs (used my MiniDV for A-D conversion)

I'm a complete hoarder so.. everything I've ever laid hands on, data wise ;D Various bits of development work, ISO images of various *nix distributions, software updates, pr0n, erm.. ;D
