Title: Hard Drive Space
Post by: landbeforetimelover on July 15, 2007, 02:24:22 PM

I have 8,000gb total.  3,000gb internal and 5,000gb external.  But of course, that's really not typical. :lol:

I think the running standard is 80gb.  Might be 120. :unsure:

380 GB on my main computer
120 on my laptop
100 on my server.

My new system, whenever I get it built, will probably have 1 600 to 2 000 GB over 4 hard drives.

Time to go get an external hard drive man.  12GB is only enough for about 1 full quality LBT sequal.  They have a 500gb firewire one for pretty cheap:

If you go usb, it's a heck of a lot cheaper.  I would recommend the usb one:

Or if ya know how to install a internal hard drive, I'd go this route:

I'll keep those links in mind. If anything I need more processing speed for my games.

Austin, sounds cheap if you can afford it.  And I'll leave that there.  I survived with less than 10 gb remaining on a laptop harddrive just fine for quite a few months.

Right now, my laptop has 80gb, and my external is a 250gb, so 330gb total, only 183 of it is free.  :lol:
