Just Bought New IBM 75GXP 60GB

[voogru]

well after some time I managed to get the money for my new 60GB drive http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif and my 30Gb will go as a backup drive http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif I wonder what i will do with all this space...videos? MP3's? Downloads? Games?

im used to only having a 2-3GB backup i was gonna go for a 20GB drive as a backup but decided to get a new drive thats twice as big as my current one and use my current one as a backup.

say those .psp Images take up quite some space http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

atleast i wont have to worry bought space for the next few years http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Next on list:

Video Card
DSL
a Life http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif
a car (planning on Building it myself http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif )

I also have a 45gb hard drive. Picked it up for $150 with free shipping.

I used to use my CD-RW for backup along (still do for some things). I strongly recommend a second hard drive for backup for the rest of you. It is soooo fast. Compare 600kb second (my CD-RW) to 30mb a second (about) that you get copying data from one hd to another.

Any hard drive will do. I use my old hard drive that came with my Dell computer: a 10gb Quantum Fireball. If I ever need more space, I can either get bigger 2nd hd or use more of my CD-RW.

I just bought a mew Maxtor 40 Gig 7200 drive, and I am using a 20 Gig Western Digital also. I also installed a Ultra ATA/100 PCI adaptor card and WOW! It makes the drive even zippier yet! The speed is quite incredible.

I have 2 75GXP 45Gigers en RAID0, and a 20GB WD ATA/66 7200RPM for backup.

I think I maxed out my 300w PSU w/ all that, since if i plug in my USB Digital Camera, the comp wont boot.

Hey Voogru when you get that DSL. Download any and every song you can find on napster and then when it goes down set up a FTP so we can just d/l off of you http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
