Upgraded the rig today
 

went and upgraded to a 1 terabyte drive with windows7 :yeah:

this thing is awesome... i have installed about a dozen video games that had previously been shelved due to lack of hard drive space and i have not even scratched the surface on this thing :rock:

[**................................................ ...........]

thats what the "bar" on my C: space looks like

where **=used space and ... = free space

highly recommended

Woot grats.... building my 3tb rig tonight too.... hopefully i can get these stupid drivers to work.

THREE?

i only sprung for one... i figured i have lived with 120gig HD for so long i wouldnt know what to do with myself if i had 1TB let alone 3! :haha:

Despite how much I like you, I hate the hell out of you right now. My rig is so outdated, and I haven't the money to upgrade it. I can't even run SH5 properly.:cry:

thats a bummer man... but we have all been through those dry spells before.

i remember in the mid 90's i was STILL trying to convince my dad that his old Tandy 1000 belonged in the Smithsonian.

Yeah, Back when i was in college in the 90's, I had purchased a 6gb 5.25" HDD, for like almost $300. Cause they hadn't come out with FAT32 yet, I had to split it into 3 2 gb drives. I didn't know what to do with all that room, I actually rented out the space over the school network. $10 a month got you 100mb. I did package deals :D

Now I hate you even more. You know what I had in the mid-90's? A frakking Apple SE! Then we "upgraded" to a Performa 400! I had to play "Red Baron" and the original SimCity for four years before I got the money to buy my own computer. Even then, I could barely run "Wolfpack".

It was a dark time.

You survived on 120Gb I thought my previous 250Gb was small :-)

Using a one Terabyte HDD with Windows 7 installed myself.

If you think that it's huge wait until you make a whole backup of your PC :D. I just did and it took 85Gb!:doh:

I may need to buy an external HDD

Im at a loss...

I upgraded my rig with a 1TB drive about a year ago...the 250GB I originally built my rig with just became too small. I still am using it as my boot drive though, and it's chugging along just fine. After 1 year, I still have 743GB free on my 1TB drive, though it's not for lack of trying...all of my games are on it!

Just upgraded myself! When you go from 40 Gb storage to 2Tb + 1 Tb external drive, you can really spread out!:D

Now I've just got to find some new games that can really push "The Beast" to the limits!

1TB :rock:

Though I struggle with lesser amount. I have a 250gb drive (2) 75gb drives and (1) 320gb drive. Freespace is at 67%. Ive ran out of appz to install. :roll:

Hahahahhaa :DL we didnt even know what a computer was in those times, they were as expensive as a car :DL

Man, I still remember when DEC came out with the first consumer type external hard drive in 1982. It had 4 mega bytes of storage!

I thought to myself, no one person could ever fill up 4mb :nope: Maybe a company computer, but not the average consumer. I mean, 4mb was about all the data that existed in the world right?

My how times have changed. :har:
