So this is what a terabyte feels like. Ooooh, yeah. This is nice. So much free space. Unf.

Today I installed my new TB hard drive and moved most of my datas to it. I still have my OS and shizzle on my 1/2TB, so I have 1.5TB now. Which isn't a ton but it's more than I had before, having spent the last year-ish hovering between 5GB and 200MB of free space left on my primary drive.

BJ, of course, had to get a 1.5TB drive. Always has to do just a little better than me. It was so cute, how he was saying he was going to get the 1TB, but was clearly eyeing the 1.5TB. So I told him to go for it. He's so damn adorable when it comes to hardware.

Tonight I think I'll... I think I'm gonna... I think I'm gonna defrag. Shh...

    Pfffft... 1 TB? Srsly? *yawn* I'm such a whore for HDD space. I get a new drive at least once a year to add to the heap. I'm currently sitting on 7 TB. I'm a hell of a pack rat though. The vast majority of that space is comprised of porn, but a good chunk is also music, movies and television. I'm also becoming increasingly HD sensitive to the point that I download blu-ray quality stuff almost exclusively so long as it's available. Obviously for a lot of vintage porn and TV series it's not possible, but most mainstream movies of any merit, both old and new, have been released in some BR format.

    Once you start ripping porn sites that provide 1080p content you find yourself filling up multi-TBs quickly. Last time I had a sub to such a site I think I downloaded about 750 GB of stuff within a single month.

    Over time I'm finding larger and larger drives to be in the "sweet spot" on pricing. My latest drive was a 2TB internal (for around 100 bucks). However, if it wasn't so nearly wasteful (cost::size) I'd prefer my primary HDD be fairly small and fast and used for nothing but games and other software while using the larger, slower drives as pack mules.

    It's funny. My first computer had a HDD of 64 MB. I remember (too many) years later when upgrading my parents got a computer with a 3 GB HDD and I seriously though I could never fill up so vast a space.

    I also have 1.5TB. =] People like clout and Yearg with their 7TB or whatever are insane to me. I don't know how I could manage such a large amount of stuff. I don't have the time to watch the few movies I have. x_x

    I'm obsessive about cataloging and organizing things. Things are mostly very well organized because I tend to not let them get out of control. I still wish I could find a program that let me database it all and tag all media for searching later.

    Holy crap Yearg 7 TB - I have 3 (1.5/1/0.5) and it's plenty. You must download incessantly and have lots of junk ... data that you are able to find

    HDD cost is so little everybody should have 1 TB . Hell my friend finally got his first TB drive a few months ago :D

    I don't download porn. And I delete TV shows after I watch them. And I mostly watch stuff on Netflix anyway.

    Then wtf do you have that requires 500 GB of space? The biggest stuff on my HDs are definitely TV shows.

    Game-related stuff, photos, manga, and still quite a few videos. You forget that I have friends and family and people who love me, so I have like 100GB of photos.

    So basically what you're saying is: you're a camwhore.
