Size of your external hard drives?

    For the people that carry bulky hard drives around with them, how much space can it hold and what do you use it for?

    My external HDD holds 200GB and I use it for photoshop inages, movies, music... Pretty much everyday data backed up on there.
     
    Eh I don't have a portable one, but my dad has a 500gb non portable one which I just use. Speaking of which, I need to backup my stuff rather soon..
     
    My external hard drive is 500 GB. I keep... pretty much everything on it. I keep a backup of all my music, images, anime/videos, etc. It's a little over half-filled but since my actual hard drive is only 120 gb (ahaha "only" 8|), it really comes in handy. Not to mention with the number of problems I've had this year, it's been great having a backup of all my files. :B
     
    My external drive can hold up to 320 GB.

    Considering I only use it for some music and anime, I dare say I will be needing a larger one anytime soon.
     
    Mine's an old one D: About 100 GB on it, methinks. Enough for storing away photos on.
     
    I've got three
    Media Archive: 2Tb
    Time Machine: 500Gb
    Passport/ POCKET: 280Gb/ 40Gb (2 partitions, the larger is HFS+ format, smaller is FAT32)
     
    30GB and despite the capacity I love it because it's made from a salvaged iPod, so it's tiny! :3
     
    I have a 500GB Maxtor. Good for emergency backups.

    I have a 1TB Main Drive W-D hard drive that really stores most of my important stuff.
     
    external drive.. hmm.. I have one usb2 drive for the laptop to store misc data on. its 500GB full sized (but still fits in my lappy's carry bag.)
    The new computer has 1.5TB overall storage with some 1TB or so dedicated to data/storage. (And room for 6 more drives!)
     
    I have a 250GB Seagate FreeAgent. I basically keep my anime, document backups, and some music and stuff like that on it. I still have plenty of space left.
     
    I broke my Freecom 160GB. D:
    All I've got now is 2GB of solid-state, the memory stick of my PSP. It's enough to back up my images and most annoying to replace songs.
     
    I just bought an external Seagate 750GB hard drive that I'm yet to use. I'd like to put Time Machine backups on it, but I do need to use it with my PC too xD

    I also back up to my iMac G5, which for reasons beyond my knowledge has a 500GB hard drive.
     
    Mine right now is 500GB.

    I use it for a lot of things, from backups to storage.

    I don't have an external harddrive...I just use my built in 105GB memory ^-^;
    With a limit, I can delete the stuff I never use instead of just forgetting about it.
