How much hard drive space do you have free?

[RetroRomper]

A random question that is not at all in response to Flack making me think about dumping a .CHD file on everyone here.

Night folks!

[Billy Mays]

Why is the largest option 5TB? Did you come up with this poll back in the 90s or something when that was maybe impressive?

[Flack]

No option for > 5TB, did not vote.

DUDE. Good poll!

I am in the latter group. 1 SSD TB drive. 1 TB magnetic drive. Both as fast as possible.. we will never compete with Grandmaster Flack on sheer volume storage.

I have about 400GB free on my phone's SD card so I voted for that one.

[AArdvark]

About 160Gb on the desktop, maybe 100Gb on the Magnavox and some paltry space left on the laptop and phone. Its funny how a random 4gig flash drive or a 1gig sd card is just drawer junk now.

I agree, whoever wrote this poll made a mistake in not allowing >5TB.

The hard drive in my computer has 430.9 billion bytes available
My external Seagate USB drive has 7.734 trillion bytes remaining out of 8.001 trillion.
So I selected the largest option available.

[Flack]

Well, let's see.



On the shelf next to me I've got a 1TB external drive, three 3TB internal SATA drives, and 8TB WD drive, two or three < 1TB drives (I think two are 500GB and one is 750GB), and then five 1TB drives (three 2.5, two 3.5). I forgot to check but there are probably 2 or 3 2TB drives in those drive caddies. Behind those caddies are a stack of four or five 1TB SATA drives that got pulled out of rotation. I wouldn't trust them for day to day usage, but for a temporary backup or something, they're fine. Oh, and the 4TB that Tdarcos mailed me is in the red box on top -- I wouldn't really count that one since I'll be returning it to him.

So, without the Commander's drive, I count 30-35TB of available space on the shelf, and that's before we start looking at drives attached to the server or installed in computers.

So... > 5TB.

[Tdarcos]

Oh yeah, once I have that drive back, I'll have 12TB of disk space.
