How much hard drive storage do you have?

Cabaal

Curious really,

How much hard drive storage do people have at home? (work servers don't count

the.red.baron

5 TB mirrored for every now and then, so 10 really.

You don't want to lose all the HD Porn

Does cloud storage count or just physical boxes in your house?

brianwalshcork

Less than 1 tb

I'd say that most SMEs have less primary storage (so excluding back up to disk storage) then you are suggesting... After the initial acquisition cost, the problem with lots of storage is that it all needs to be backed up and inevitably, if disk space is provided it'll be used, once it's used, and once it's used rarely recovered.

66 TB at home, 1.5 PB at work. No cloud or off site counted in either.

ronkmonster

5x3TB in raid5 giving 12TB(10.8TB real size) in my home server.
1 nas with 2x2TB for backups of the important stuff.
Another with 2 x 500gb.

2TB as second drive in main PC. plus a few 1tb drives retired from server lying around.

TheHamster

Not enough
2tb on board plus 1tb external, and rapidly running out
More is better, right?

ScumLord

3.5tb. 1gb of it is in a raid so that's two 1tb hard drives, a 2tb hard drive, an old 500gb drive that I'll replace at some stage and a 80gb SSD for OS.

Baked.noodle

Internal 500 GB plater drive and a 120 GB SSD. Plenty of space for me as I back up all my data on external drives (2 x 1 TB and 500 GB).

Since i never posted it in my opening post,

I got 10.5TB at home. Bulk of it is connected to a MacBook which sits under my TV and serves it out to my computer and my Ouya running XBMC. Rest is used as a backup drive for my computer.

kingtiger

2x 256GB SSD drives

4xTBs on a remote dedi server using Plex

Red Nissan

3.5TB on board with 4 x 1TB drives via caddy and a half dozen 500GB.

I have started to make drives specific, the fastest ones are in the PC or scheduled to be and then I'll have, say video projects, dascam trips, photos, movies separate.

But I'm think it through.

jimmy blevins

I'm feeling very inadequate, only got 2x500GB in the laptop and a 1TB backup drive.

Blazer

6TB on my NAS for all my shows/movies and approx 4TB on my PC.
