|
 |
I'm curious to see how others store their stuff.
My setup:
My machine, AMD64, 2 X 200GB Seagate SATA
One drive for general data files, really good files I keep and a video work partition.
Another drive for general media, it's my download folder. Keep everything in there to sort through, and most of it now gets archived there if I like it since drive one is getting full.
120GB external drive...use this for backup of important files, and HD video since it's such a space hog
Machine 1 on network:
Dell P2, 192MB RAM, 2 X 30GB old Maxtor 5400rpm
I use this machine simply for HD video storage, and have it almost full. Not much room to put in more HDs, so it'll probably stay as is, maybe do some web serving.
Machine 2:
Family PC, run some light Emule on it. Not used for much storage as it's just an 80GB, so I just keep new files on there.
Then DVDs, well I have several 96 DVD binders pretty well full of them. I always burn a copy of the original file, even if I keep it on my machine so I always have a portable backup. Software etc all goes here too, same with DVDs.
Well, anyone care to share? I'm sure some people have pretty impressive networks, and I hope I can build mine up.

I wish I had a setup like that! With HDDs coming down in cost I just may. Are your machines generally just the cheapest you can find?

I don't understand why people store their warez on HDD's. Just imagine if a virus gets in the way or if the disks crash. *GONE BABY*. Personally I have approximately 4500 cdr and dvd discs stored in boxes. And yes it looks pretty massive if you ask me. OS's, livecd distros and testing stuff get's stored on temporal cdrw or dvdrw discs.

I store them on my HD/s. i used to burn but i just couldn't be arsed. I never actually play / use my backed-up stuff anyway. If i want to play a game i'll just red/l it, i tried looking for a COD the other day coz my m8 wanted it, i ended up finding hl2, mohaa and a loada other games i was missing.

I normally back everything up onto CD or DVD, but thats getting costly and taking too much space. Ive got a filing cabinet full of backups. Might in the next few weeks buy an external HD.

I usually keep around 10 games stored, then all my music and movies I keep on my hard drives as well.

A tip. Don't keept them in Jewel cases. It's an awful waste of space. Get some boxes like those cabable for 150 cd's. Then you can number and index them with Whereisit.

WhereIsIt is a great tool.
Not so long ago WhereIsIt was free for private usage. Unfortunately it became shareware with 14 days limit, even for private usage.
