This is something that I'm curious about. I can see that a lot of people have multimedia that they haven't created themselves (e.g. movies) taking up considerable amounts of disk space.
Most of my colleagues in work have at least one 500GB drive, and here I am with a 160GB Travelstar RAID-1 (mirrored) drive and it's only 60% full. I have an install of Windows, some apps, Steam w/ Source engine games, Visual C++ 2005 and a whole stack of my projects. And I. Literally. Can't. Put. Anything. Else. On. There.
There's nothing else that I really need. Sure, I could download random things, but for me it's always been a question of need. Films usually come on discs (Unless you're hokey). You stick them in the drive, watch them, then put them away again. Is that too much effort or what?
A lot of people record their favourite TV shows. That's not done on VHS tapes anymore, it's done on hard-disks. Burn that to DVD's? Why on earth would anybody waste his time doing that if he can get 1TB disks for just under 60€?Originally Posted by SMurf

No matter how little you value the time it'd take to burn 1TB of data, it can't be less than 60 bucks.
Exactly. Not to mention all the physical space they take up. It's also hard to zap through the episodes if they're stored on discs
The last drive that failed me had a capacity of 40MB. That's right, megabytes. And it was large at that time
What do you do with your disks?
Only until you consider the efforts involved in creating backups. It's easy with harddrives but backing up hundreds of DVDs doesn't sound like fun to me...

Hey, I still tape everything on VHS.
