      Definately me... My main desktop has a total of 190gb, and my notebook has a 100gb HDD. If you want to count the OLDIES... I guess I could add another 30gb that's not in use.;P

          HDD Capacity, or HDD storage space? I think I have a bin or two kicking around of old <1gb drives. ;p

                  which leaves you with 970Gb of free space to reach the TB. Plus your whole life is not sufficient for listening to >30Gb ... so what is the point again ?

                    start archiving tv episodes, or ripping your dvds so you don't need to hunt for the actual disks to watch them. You'll fill gobs of space really fast.

                        2.27TB here spaced out across three PCs I use most. 2.8TB if I add 4th computer, laptop and external storage Doesn't mean I use it all, but when buying new HDDs it makes sense to buy larger drives as they are cheaper per GB and because they have better performance.

                          Try using the computer to record some TV shows or have any movies on there, it adds up quick!

                            About 3 floppy disks worth? I mean, how much more should an OS take up?

                            I totally agree! Any more than that is bloated!

                                I only have around 400 GB (160 + 160 + 80) At work, our fileservers typically hold around 40 TB, the tabe library hold around ten thousand 320 GB tapes (full backup only :D ). Seen them, love them, want one :)

                                          Now, what for ? I mean what data can take you up to 1TB ? I am living with 80 Gb, and that is way much than will ever need, I think.

                                          Backups?  I use my external 500GB one for short-term backups and every so often I'll back up the really important stuff to DVDs.
