Shabadu Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I have a 80gb WD800JB in both my gamin pc and my server pc, and a 120gb WD1200JB in this pc. I plan to get two raptors on raid0 in the sig rig (gamin pc). i wouldnt recommend anything under 40gb per pc nowadays, you will be wishing you had more space before your computer is out-of-date.

Propane Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 (edited) I have one 80Gig drive - here is the partition breakdown: 14.6 (5.03 free) - windows XP - FAT32 (so I can write to it from linux) 65ish (63ish free) - Slackware 9.0 - RFS I am hoping to get a 100 soon Edited October 11, 2003 by Kevin_E_Cramer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a home user not dealing with divx movies, there's really no need for 40gigs. There's no way you'd have 40gigs worth of programs.

Overclocker16 Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 (edited) There's no way you'd have 40gigs worth of programs. You'd be suprised. I think I have 20-30GB in programs already... And most games are becoming 1-2GB or more. Edited October 12, 2003 by Overclocker16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Propane Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 60GB Maxtor 40GB Seagate 15GB IBM 13GB Maxtor I take it that you dont have any IDE devices other than those - unless there external or sata Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 could be a pci or onboard ata controller too. or like some other people an onboard ide raid controller that's not running an array Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propane Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 true - i think that would be slow beyond reason though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 slow beyond reason? why? my servers are for the most part regular IDE drives. I have them on raid cards and in all but one of them I have it set for no array (10 seperate drives) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propane Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 How fast is pci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 you're right, but how often are you writing to ALL of them at once? besides 2 of them are using 66mhz 64 bit pci slots for the raid cards... so there's not as big of a bottle neck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
