This should be interesting:
Lappy:
C: 136 total, 25 free;
D: 48 total, 15 free;
E: 44 total, 30 free;

Desktop:
C: probably has 40 free; D: closer to 80; E: around 40 and F about 60; RAID0 G: ought to have about 120 or so. (500 + 300 + 3 x 320)

7 External drives! Probably about a TB or two spare all told across them. (2 x 1.5tb, 1 x 250, 2 x 320, 2 x 250)

The main problem for me isn't so much the amount of spare space, but *where* the spare space is, as I've designated particular hard drives to do certain things. For example, my 320gb drive with photos probably has about 30-40gb left, and that is... about one airshow. On the other hand, my work archive has about 500gb free (1.5tb drive)... and nobody wants to walk round with a wagon full of hard-drives, USB and power cables...

I also appear to be a digital pack-rat...

Main HDD:
C: 99.9GB free of 148GB

Removable internal USB HDD I acquired a couple of days ago (used for backups):
E: 102GB free of 111GB

Second PC with HDDs for backup (stored files between these two is around 75GB):
HDD 1: 226GB free
HDD 2: 228GB free

My backups are quadruple redundant. Personal files on two separate HDD, one stored in a fire safe. Critical files stored on an 8GB USB flash drive. Countless files backed up to DVD and DVD-RAM media at interval.

I have a triple redundant system.

C (internal): Drive OS and some games
D (internal): Archived Stuff (photos, videos)
E (internal): Archived Stuff copy
F (external): Archived Stuff backed up every couple months, stored in fire safe

Since digital memories are just that, I like to have one in a firesafe in case the house burned down.

I use SyncToy to mirror the D and E drives basically every time I download some photos or video to the D drive. Nice program..easy, fast..

I envision someday finding the time to build a real home network with a central server that does automatic backups. Sigh.. I just can't find the energy to start that project quite yet.

When I get home from work, I will post mine. I did uninstall a ton of crap on Monday. With Steam it's easy to reinstall. So I should have plenty of space considering I have a TB internal and a TB external.

My question to you guys is how much of that space you are taking up is filled with Porn?

All of mine is home made so it's not taking up much space.


Hmmm that didn't sound right after rereading it.
