my new 250gb hard drive died a couple of weeks ago, was just making a horrible clicking noise when trying to spin up

did the trusty plastic bag in a freezer trick and recovered all of the important **** off it. ****ing thing seemed to keep working perfectly after this, so i've got my 160gb drive jam packed. and the 250 only used to store stuff that's already backed up to dvd
got 109gb of music on my main hd and 30gb of movies and other random crap on the secondary... there's well over 170gb going unused on it

Karoma

Whats this now?

optiplexgx270

Yeah i heard it recently too. If your HD starts failing put it in a sealed bag to avoid moisture getting into the disk and freezing and well freeze the disk its a kinda 50/50 deal may or may not work. And

AFAIK you want to get your data off it not really use it all the time again I.E. dont keep important stuff on it as it is more likly to fail again.

The Troll

I have 60GB of music, 240GB of movies, 20GB of games, 4 GB software installation files.

My other drive is a SCSI 10000RPM that i install my apps/OS on. Use 500GB SATA Drive for storage.

Games (majority of space), some music, some video, some (lots of) filth, the usual.

The largest non-games directory I have is one where I keep a backup of every app I've downloaded. Most of them are in the free software sticky. They're all free things / shareware.

no cant afford a HD cam Yet .

Its actually ripped from shows that aired on Direct TV HD, the likes of the sopranos and 24 etc, some are from hi def testing screens aswell, they will tie in well with the new HD lcd in January.

I also done a recording of a BBC hi-def test there a couple of weeks ago, so that took up a fair bit of room indeed.

Syth

I don't whether to be suprised at the amount of porn people have, or their honesty.

I have 35 GB of tv shows, 11 GB of music, 2.5 GB of books, 1.9 GB of games. Damn laptop with a small harddisk.

I'm suprised at some of those figures. how do I have so many games, I have a mac ffs. and some how 11 GB of music fits on my 6GB ipod... Hmmm...
