[AmStoned]

Waiting to get a pair of serial ATA w/ 8MB cache

[whipat]

Do you mean installed or just laying around?

[ImaginAsian]

Hmm...didn't think about that one...how about installed?

[AmStoned]

Oh c'mon, just do a total, scattered or installed, 'cause mine are in racks and they are everywhere.

[whipat]

Four :)

[Alakazam]

[Pigflipper]

1 x IBM 40gig 75gxp
2 x IBM 30gig 75gxp

next drive that I am getting will be in october for my bday, the WD 200gig 7200rpm.....sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

[AmStoned]

Only reason why people have a HD bigger than 20GB? pr0n. lots and lots of pr0n.

[floppybootstomp]

2 x IBM GX60P 20Gb in a RAID 0; 1 x Fujitsu 4.2 Gb in a caddy fulla MP3's.

Looks like everybody wants that big WD drive. I did read somewhere it only works on WIN XP with SP1 installed. Anybody know if that's so?

[JohnnyBra]

1 45 gig Maxtor 7200 RPM drive..
1 80 gig Maxtor 5400 RPM drive..

45 has os, programs, games, etc.
80 gig has stored iso files, movies, porn, etc.

Yeah I read that too. It has do wtih the large amount of space (200GB). It requires you to either load a special driver supplied from WD or use XP SP1 which has it built in.

Can u imagine the defrag time of that beast.

[Case]

Can u imagine the defrag time of that beast.

HAHAHa! That's what partition magic is for, IA - Break that puppy up into smaller byte-sized chunks!

Yes ;)

[Enigma]

I currently have:

4 X Maxtor 80GB 7200RPM ATA 100
2 X Fujitsu 20GB 5400RPM ATA 66
1 X WD 120GB 7200 RPM ATA 133

and a few misc smaller drives (6.4GB quantums etc)

I'm getting two more Maxtor 80GB's for the new system I'm working on.

[AmStoned]

No, you can never have enough HDs. Having more HDs is better than buying 500 CD blanks like me. Man, I hate flipping around for the photos I want. Just get a 2 mobile racks + mobile tray for each addition HDs you have, and BAM, instant solution.

[ImaginAsian]

Man I can't even fill up my 30GB after 2 years - and here I go buying an 80 GB model soon.

[AmStoned]

Not if I send you my divx pr0n collection. :stoner1:

[floppybootstomp]

I almost filled up my 40Gb once, had about 36Gb used up - lots & lots of Games loaded with lots of save files.

atm Diskeeper 7 tells me I have 51% free.

[prod]

Just got a shiny new maxtor 80gig D740x with fluid bearings. There goes my upgrade budget for the next 2 years :)
Along with that in my main machine is the maxtor 10gig that kept giving me bluescreen I/O errors, hence the new drive.

In my son's k62 I have the 1 gig seagate.
In the P133 I have a quantum 3.2 gig.
Will be switching those 2 and reinstalling everything whenever I get around to it.

In the drawer beside me I have a dead maxtor 540meg that I threaten to throw at people when they piss me off :)

And where is the "none" option? I got an XT with twin 5 1/4 floppys and the VIC-20 with tape drive.

[BeerCheeze]

1 in Router/VPN box

[AmStoned]

[ImaginAsian]

control panel->system->hardware->device manager->disk drives

assuming u use windows 2K/XP - forgot what 98/Me would be but something similar to that!

[Lonnie]

Thanks, IA...just found this poll again :sorry:
I found it... Samsung SV2044D :look:
Is it any good? I do know that everything is quiet inside the tower - no rattling or anything like that - so I guess the stuff that eMachines people stuck in there is ok...even tho the mobo has all integrated stuff. :ogle:
