relevance edit: I need to get a 500GB external so I can back up everything on my laptop and probably torrent more stuff again. I'm running out of space already. >_>

[MaxGhost]

I have a 640gb internal, 500gb portable external, 2tb desktop external and an unused 500gb 2.5" internal. The 500gb portable has my main backups and most important stuff. My 2tb has over 1tb of movies and TV shows, over 300gb of games and programs, Tons of music, learning material (lots of pdfs and instructional videos). I have my 640gb partitioned, small Ubuntu partition that I almost never use, but have to mess around with if I ever feel like it. In university we have a DC++ network with over 80tb shared, so I bought my 2tb to stock up on stuff to watch and play for the summer until I go back next year.

I'll just list all my bs

640GB Caviar Green(maybe?) "Helium" C:, used for windows and all my installed shit, documents, etc.

1 TB Caviar Black "Neon" Z:, used for games (pretty extensive ROM collection, various PC game ISO's), ebooks, and movies. No music, I just use Grooveshark now really.

1 TB Caviar Black "Argon" Y:, used for serial media. TV shows, anime, BBC documentary series and shit like that.

Most of it is 720p+ stuff. Yea I'm on a noble gas theme lol. They're all internal drives.

edit:
Laptop: BOOTCAMP C:, windows. Macintosh HD E:, nothin noteworthy

For external storage assorted bs, I have:

8GB Cruzer "Sodium", Windows 7 bootable flash drive. Also used to carrying documents and projects around until I discovered dropbox.com (ps go there it's a+++++)

80GB iomega "Lithium", uses a WBFS partition and is loaded with Wii games. Just plug it into the Wii, run the homebrew channel, and just like that I don't have to support EA's horrible bs if I wanna get my game on

640GB Hitachi "Potassium", I lost the power cord lol

flash drives "Rubidium" 2GB, "Caesium" 2GB why do people keep giving me these things

SD card "Beryllium", holds Wii .wad's and backups
microSD card "Magnesium", holds DS roms

Good, honest man. I'm proud of you.

However, this consists of images, since I stream my stuff.

I haven't worked my way that far down the alkaline earth metals yet

@MaxGhost: for a while I was considering naming all my drives after fox news anchors but I liked the periodic table better

Right, only people interested in computers store files on hard drives.

I think people who partition their hardrives are though.

12.5TB total on my main workstation. The SSD's are pretty much filled up with design programs and Windows, (256gb total), and about 1.8TB is filled up with 3D files, about 50gigs of music, a few movies, gigantic sound effect libraries, random programs, and contains nearly every file I've ever had from my previous 3 computers.

for what do you need 12.5tb, isnt that a little overkill?

[darkshark]

Everything I do is overkill, damnit. Haha.

Eventually I will fill up all the drives, so how is it overkill?

I remember when I thought like that when I got my laptop with an 10gig hdd

and my pc with 150 gig hdd

I was so wrong

[darkshark]

No not really, I have a render server, but that's for a completely different purpose and doesn't need mass storage (but it still has 6TB lol). I just tend to go on hardware shopping sprees I guess =/
