Militaris Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I am currently using around 30GB of a 80GB hard-drive. If I purchase a dSLR and take heaps of RAW photos I might need 1TB.... The other option, like several others is if I get a Tv tuner card and record heaps of shows. So maybe, but not currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mementh Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 yes and no... Realibility.. i would require that 1 terabyte drive be auto duplicated onto another.. There is no way i will go higher then 200 gigs right now for realiability.. I have a ton of movies and TV shows.. so i could always use them.. But.. the problem is.. on the larger drives your reaching the limit of current error correction.. on a 300-500 gig drive your getting a ton of errors (that the drive automatically fixes, but they are still happening) Any higher drive sizes should IMHO be a auto raided drive config.. cause its just too risky. The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!! Finally, I get to save the Earth with deadly lasers instead of deadly slide shows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ks_Jeppe Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 currently i'm half way through my third 300 gig HDD, so i would say yes :D But then again, i have a lot of backup of tip etc (you'd be amazed how much there is on that server :P) + runehead clan database backups and so on... Would prob get some more of my CD's in as well, not really sure tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2192759&CatId=1208 That's alot of space, and you'd need one hell of a proccesor. If you want the most storage packed into a 4U box, you need one of these. 48 SATA II Drives packed into a 4U rack case. Sun ships it with up to 24TB if you're using 500GB discs. Way more when you start using 750's. 2 dual-core Opterons, up to 16gb of RAM. It's a beast. :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktorkrum77 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 You have one? That's $33,000. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 You have one? That's $33,000. Nowhere did I say I have one. You posted a link to a 12TB server (from Tiger direct too, eeww), so I posted a link to a bigger server that fits in the same rack slot. The Sun server also comes preloaded with everything you need to use it, along with support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I could, the above is after clearing my storage drive out. If I had the space I'd have probably used it by now. I'm quite lazy that way, I tend to leave things on my hardrive rather than getting up and looking through CD's and DVD's. :) Notoriously Trollish.

DaN Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I know people who have terrabytes of storage and use their computers as media warehouses. (It should be noted these people have more money than they can spend) but im pretty sure I could do the same. Im not sure how its done since ive never needed to do it but its possible to have a single partition accross multiple physical drives. ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x_slayer_765_x Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 you have 3 gigs of harddrive? lol Can you get 1 tb of ram?? no the max is like 4GB i think atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman247m Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I use about 750gig atm, I could use around 1.5 gig if I didn't make backups. Atm windows is capped at like 2 terabytes, and I have about 1.7 on my computer :twisted: i want more, but windows won't let me :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsback Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Uhmm, I probably could. Moves, CD's, Games, Work stuff, Programs, Servers, etc. Sounds good enough. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_k0m0d0_ Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yeah possibly... if I was a professional photographer, movie maer, and had no live at all, I'd fill up 1TB easy.... I had 30GB... filled up, changed to 80Gb, running out of space, next one is 300Gb and I hope not t fill it so fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 you have 3 gigs of harddrive? lol Can you get 1 tb of ram?? no the max is like 4GB i think atm. 4gb is actually tiny when you start getting into servers and such. 4gb is just the limit on most consumer boards. Like this quad opteron board from Tyan. Costs $1,230 for just the board, but it supports up to 64gb of ram when you use 4gb DIMMs. :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy69801 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Easily, i filled my brand new 120GB HD in two weeks, 20GB of that was a Linux partition which i havent used much yet... but the rest was media on a Windows partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonda Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 My 120 Gig HD (actually its a 40 and an 80) well... its not full, but close to it. To be honest, I have so many files in random folders and so many text files with an IP or CD key laying around... my hard drive(s) are super unorganized, I could go into D: and find folders named "asdlja" and "sadlk" that I made to store 1 thing temporarily and never got around to deleting it. I would love to format the drive... but I don't know if I'd be losing anything important since I don't know whats all on the drive and I know some of it is useful lol. Such a pack rat :( ...

____ Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I could fill 1TB of hard disk space without much of a problem. Could probably fill 2TB with additional effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
