I just love this quote!

I just did a check and I have 1.12 TB left on my 3 TB EHD . . . and 1.23 TB of my 2 TB internal, so plenty of space for the new things I've downloaded.

What's your current hard drive status?

ha! fitting question for this weekend and love the quote. you need to scrap that cheryl!

i'm at 465.95GB free of my 1TB hard drive (plus lots of space on my EHDs)
 
On my laptop's HD: 740 GB free of 921 GB.
I have 3 EHDs here right now (and a full one is at my parents' place) and they are all about half full except for my 2 TB; it's almost full. I plan on getting a new one soon and moving the full EHD to my parents'. I like keeping a copy of my files in another location "just in case."
 
C: 257 of 916
2 EHDs: 43 of 465 (yikes, it's already in the red) and 367 of 931.
I'm not worried (yet), :-)

Yes . . . you need at least a 1TB! They have gotten so much less expensive from the time I bought my first one!

I **do** need to scrap it.

How many EHDs do you have?

Not enough. My C drive is crying because it is almost full and I don't want to "waste" time moving things off.

Do you just plug them in when you want them? I love having access to my stuff all the time, so just curious about how you know what's where . . .

I have 4. One is really old and is full of photos. Not even sure what size it is. 2 are half full and are 1TB. And the 4th one is my newest one ... it is 4TBs and about half full.

Why is it that I get so excited when I see 4 or 5 TB typed out? In my head, it's like getting a skyscraper to fill up. LOL
 
i felt that way when I got it. I don't store my raw file photos on my hard drive so they all go to EHDs ... and I back up the EHDs on EHDs. Just a wait a few years ... we will be scoffing at 4TB!
 
inside my puter
c 464 of 700 free
d 405 of 768gb free
e 352 of 683gb free
g 460 of 1.09-tb free (my kits)
h 182 of 390gb free (my d/ drive)
 
About 324GB on 1TB on the laptop (all content and current-only projects).
About 527GB on 1TB EHD where my photos and archived projects live.
About 300GB left on the 1TB EHD that is the backup to the hard drive & other EHD.

So plenty of space to shop......

Yup, I plug in an EHD when I need one. One is plug and play, so I tend to use that one (more mobile, of course). I currently back up ALL files onto all 3 EHDs--so all DS, pics, music, documents, etc.
Anyway, I want another 4 TB EHD, which I'll then keep only DS and pics on. I don't use an online backup service (except I have started putting pics on Amazon Prime Photos, but that's done kind of whenever I remember to do it lol), which is why I keep an EHD at my parents' home in another state (so if there's an issue here, it shouldn't be an issue there). The one thing I'm wondering about, is if I should eventually--sometime in the future, but IDK when--just take an older EHD and rip it to a brand new one, in case tech changes or the old one just poops out on me.
 
WEEELLL, since I had to wipe my harddrive a couple weeks back - I still have loads of room on my computer - but I have 3 EHD and they are all getting close to full - eep.
 
I have a MacBook Pro with a 1T HD. I have 216.8 GB available at this time. Not much, but I have a ton of vacation pictures and layouts that are still a work in progress.
 
Main EHD: 62.3GB free of 465GB (this is my main scrapping EHD - supplies and photos only)
back up: 610GB free of 1.81TB (back up- this has all the scrapping stuff, all the photos, but also all the RAW photo files, videos, and all completed layouts)
