714836 2008-10-26 03:32:00 ZOMG! Just checked system restore, and it was using 98.8GB... It's been downgraded to 3GB. Jesus!

Anyway, 2x500GB in RAID0. Nothing but trouble, but what's life without a little risk? Also, I have a 500GB external, which helped when my RAID died. :(

These days 1TB is the same, if not a bit less than 2x500GB, so it doesn't make any sense. It did when i put them in though.

Our entire CD collection in lossless format.
Our entire DVD collection.
All our digital photos.
Backups of all laptops and computers.
Still about 400GB free space.


What format have you saved your music in? Interested as I want to do something similar

And all it takes is the death of the drive and its all gone.

Why do people keep photos in digital format? What do you think you'll be viewing them with - if they still exist - in 20, 30 years?

In 30 years all people will be fitted with total recall brains so you will remember everything you have ever seen or heard or felt. All this info will (of course) be available to all Goverment Agencies.

I still have Vinyl records and have converted some to CD's. Why keep the records? Well someone will come up with a converter to make them into MPG25s or whatever happens to be in vogue.

Trust me on this! :2cents:

Heaps of room for upgrading.

Even thinking of (gasp!) a mac for setting up a home recording studio, but might wait til next year once Ive finished finally paying for all the gears Ive had to replace because of the crap rip off last year.
