Also, I'm curious, what do you do that requires you to own 11 320GB HDDs? |
I have 2 in my gaming rig, 1 in my spare PC for guests etc.., 1 in my PS2 (added this after I was tired of failing PS2 lasers), 6 in my file server and 1 spare for the file server just in case a drive in the Raid fails so I can replace it right away. I actually also have a 1TB Seagate drive in my TiVo which is modded, I extract and store a lot of shows and movies (100% legal, timeshifting, thanks Sony!). In short, I'm a bit of storage whore ...so sue me.
This is a pic from the build, I added two fans later to help with cooling.
This is a shot from the installation:
Brings back good memories, I remember what was on TV when I built this rig...thats kinda weird now that I think about it...some people remember what they were doing when we landed on the moon. I remember what was on TV when I was building my file server (and took pictures!)=P
PS - It was back when the Iraq war was starting and it was the day all those Iraqis tied a rope around Saddam's statue and pulled it down and beat it with their shoes. Now that I think about those hard drives are close to being out of Warranty if they aren't already =P
PPS - Yes I'm a total geek no need to tell me, I'm proud of it =)
edit: My problem with hard drives is that an 80GB drive is like $42, 160Gb is around $52, 250Gb is like $64, 320GB is $80, 500GB is $105 etc..Basically the cost goes up in such small increments for such large increases that its hard to say no ><
Again....I know I have issues =P
