2/28    jvarga, I have 1 250G HD and an external 200G HD that I use for
        backup. I have about 20G of music, 80G of anime, 80G of movies, and
        the rest I use as OS, data, and some pron. 250G is a lot for me. What
        the hell do you put into your EIGHT HD systems?              -curious
        \_ My desktop is only 5 drives, my server has the other 3.  I keep
           ISO copies of all of my CDs on my hard drive for a) fast access,
           and b) keeping my CDs safe from scratches.  That's about 140GB.  My
           media (mp3s, movies, etc) is only about 20GB.  I have about 50GB of
           "personal data" (I have every document/project I've created since
           I got my 386.  My main drive is about 250GB and I tend to keep it
           filled about 60% with software installations and etc.  And finally,
           I keep about 200-250GB of virtual PC images for software
           development.  I used to keep system snapshots, but that got slow.
           My server maintains snapshots and backups of my personal data and
           media. - jvarga
        \_ I have the same sort of stuff you do and it fills 430GB local disks,
           220GB of backup drives, and 250GB or so in DVD-Rs. -!jvarga
