Went and got myself another new drive today

DiamondMax Plus 9

ATA133 120GB 7200 rpm.

I couldnt pass up the price it was $129 after rebates.

I just spent the last 5 hours transferring data from smaller drives to this one. Whew glad thats over :)

You can never get too much hard drive space. Especially if you're like me and download everything in sight.

Damn, missed the chance to get the WD 8MB for $99. Oh well, maybe when the serialATA version comes out. It's a good thing JB doesn't have my acct on P2P, those divx will definitely fill up a HD in one sitting.

buncha pervs. :stoner1: Man, that's just overkill. How many GBs do you really need? Do you do massive video editing or graphic rendering work? I got a 30GB that's for backing up images of the two systems and maybe some MP3, but I'm really only using 3 HDs at any one time, with one of them interchangeable between the systems for storing VOB files that I'll be working on when I have time. Man, you guys are nuts.

I could definatly use more HD space.. Been thinking of picking up a 120 to stick in for more base storage.

I burn several CD's a week to keep some space cleared up, but I like to get ALL of a group or collection before burning it to CD.

NO it's not all pr0n. Currently there's about 12 gigs of Dragonball Z Episodes waiting to be burnt. Several other anime's.. Episodes of Lexx... A few Deep Space 9 Eps.. and lots of other stuff.

Thanks to a earlier post, I now have all the Microsoft Service Packs taking up about a gig too.. Who knows, they may come in useful some day, so I'll have them on CD ^_^

Me neither. You can never have too much of a good thing, and hard drive space is definitely a good thing.

:( Hopefully you can get at least some of the stuff back. Hopefully it wasn't your boot disk, so you can at least get back to work downloading everything ;)
