    Curiosity: How many harddrives do you have?

    So, here's the survey question for you audiophiles: How many harddrives do you have? What is on each harddrive? Audio? games only? stuff you don't want your kids to see? ^_^


    Personally, i have 2 harddrives, Drive C: and Drive D: (I'll switch Drive D: to Drive H: for less confusion)


    Drive H: has all my audio and games on it. Drive C: has everything else.

      Usually 2 HD's, each one partitioned into 2 partitions. Currently the second HD (80GB) is not activated, as it was a replacement for a defective drive I sent back. I will be formatting it soon and partitioning it again into 2 partitions. I intend to install XP on one of them. My first drive (120GB) has Windows 2000 and the programs on the first partition (30GB), data is on the second partition (82GB).

      I just took a look, and I seem to be running low on space on my active HD. I tend to accumulate so much junk!

          well there are two hard drives here, and 6 partititons on them (+2 for linux)
          the largest partition is 30 GB and the music is there... I'm thinking of changing and making everything bigger...

                can you "sense" the speed difference between a 4500 and 7200 cuz I can't.

                  Your ears might be able to sense the difference

                      I voted for 'Other' as I have two drives in my box (the OS and bits'n'pieces on the 6.4gb, binaries on the 80gb) plus four external drives - one each for music (200gb), video (250gb) and comics (200gb), with everything else (mainly spoken word) on the fourth (120gb).

                        wow . a harddrive with only 6.4 gigs? Maybe I'm too young to see such a sight. I'm only 15. (just turned 15 last october)

                        Are these harddrives salvaged from old computers or did you go out and buy the extra harddrives?

                              Six on my "Windows" box.....

                              An 80 gig WD partitioned into 10 and 70 for OS and software
                              A 250 gig Maxtor for projects
                              A 250 gig and a 200 gig Maxtors for audio projects and collection
                              A 250 gig and a 200 gig external Maxtors for backup

                              Why count in gigs when there are terabytes......

                              There's more on my two mainframes, but they don't run dbpoweramp :cry:
