  • 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

  • Mine only holds 70GB since my mum bought it quite a few years back. I only put files on it right before formatting my computer.

  • 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.

    1TB \o/

    And I haven't even put anything on it yet, hahaha. Just never got around to it I suppose. I'm sure I'll need it one day.

    Mine's an old one D: About 100 GB on it, methinks. Enough for storing away photos on.

    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.

  • 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.
