How much data storage to you have in your home?

[irv]

I had a few HD laying around so I picked up some drive cases and make some portable drive. Plugged them all into my laptop and came up with 1.1TB of storage. Took a couple of screen shots. One with gparted. It took gparted awhile to find all the partitions on all the HD's. Beside these I have two other storage drives a 1TB and 250 gig on my server. I can remember when I had a computer with 4kb of memory with a tape drive for storage. We have come along way since the late 70's when I got into computers. Let see, this make 2.35TB of storage not counting all my HD's in my computers and servers or Mp3 players and tablets. What in the world are we going to with all this storage. I also have online storage but I didn't count that.

That's what I said to myself when I saw all the stuff I had. I still have files off my old Atari XL800 computer. My goodness I will never use that stuff again. I found a lot of duplicate files. Need to clean house.

I can get rid of anything as long as I make a copy of it first :p

Don't dump the Atari stuff! The XL800 is the best computer ever made, no exceptions, and you're gonna be kicking yourself next year when the Atari-revival hits Earth!

2 x 200GB (dead ubuntu machine)
160GB (dead ubuntu machine)

On my list of things to do I have "Inventory Computer Parts" at the top! I am hoping to revive the ubuntu machine soon.

I've got a NAS in RAID 1 that has 1TB (ie: 2x1TB drive). It's starting to get a little full these days so I'm going to migrate it to RAID 5 with 2TB soonish. That's the storage for the whole family though, including movies, music and TV.

You can always get cases and make them into USB drive and use them to install different distors and test them. That's what I do. also use them for you data files like photos, music, videos, etc.

Sounds about like mine.

3 x 2TB RAID5 Array on my server + 500GB OS drive is my main storage. Desktops have between 500GB and 2TB drives, but I usually back everything up to the server.

[drawkcab]

I have a 2TB external drive and then about 1.3TB spread across my various machines.

I wish I had 10TB. :(

A month or so ago I made the move to a SSD drive, and I got a 180gig and now I see Amazon has a 240gig for less then I paid for the 180. This is good that they are coming down in price. I was almost temped to buy another one, but I have so many other drives laying around and I really don't have a place for it. But 240gig for $154.99.

Hmmm, I would have to double check this, but off the top of my head:
1 X 3TB
5 X 500GB
1 X 320GB
4 X 120GB
2 X 60GB
? X a number of other old drives

The 500GB drives are setup in a raid 5.
