This topic is locked from further discussion.
Drive 1: 640 GB in two partitions. Partition 1 has 232 free of 304GB, Partition 2 has 118 free of 292
Drive 2: 187GB free of 931GB
Total: Around 1TB
That's usually the reason I've found. Everyone I know that has over 1 TB used up has ripped (or downloaded) their entire movie collection for some reason.Good god, do you people have your entire movie collections ripped to your hard drive or something?
I've barely broken 100GB.

That's why I've been using Steam for so long.Good god, do you people have your entire movie collections ripped to your hard drive or something?

That would be the way to go since any harddrive over 2TB is far to expensive._rock_It seems like if you want to go above 1.5TB, you sacrifice speed. Don't like it. I'd rather spend more money to get more storage ;)

I have a 90 gigabyte hard drive. I had to delete something to make room for my last large download. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Quite the opposite, actually. Bigger drives generally have a higher platter density, which results in better performance.
I feel old school with my 250 GB harddrive. :P
I wouldn't be surprised if there are 3 and 4 TB drives on the market when I go to buy a new one. In fact, I'll be surprised if there aren't.
People seem to make the size of their HD work for them. If you've only got 250 gigs, you're sure to delete what you don't need and keep the drive organized, so it seems like it's enough to do the job (though I'm kind of feeling it now since I download a lot of media). Conversely, if you've got a TB drive, you don't spend much time deleting unnecessary files, and it seems to add up quickly.
