How much external storage capacity do you have?

devo

I have just over 2TB of total external storage capacity. Approximately 1.5TB of that is filled with movies, music and family photos. No doubt, movies are the biggest hog. My actual music collection is only like 100GB. My photos and other docs are around 80GB.

250GB miniStack with Seagate
6 x 250GB Fantom Drives Titanium II
320GB Rosewill RX30 with Seagate
2GB SanDisk Cruzer

I don't have any yet. I will get one eventually to store all my handbrake movies. I am unable to store them on my internal since they take up so much space!

1800GB via Firewire and 250GB on my NAS. Wow, I've finally surpassed 2TB.

Actual usable/free space is a bit different, since a few of my drives mirror each other, and I'm not more than about 75% full.

It's an Iomega StorCenter. It's got gigabit, runs a version of Linux, and it is hackable. Honestly, the only reason I bought it was because it was on sale and had a rebate, otherwise I probably would have gone with a Linksys NSLU2 and one of my USB enclosures.

I have a triple interface 320GB LaCie d2. I just pulled the 80GB stock drive out of my Mac mini and replaced it with a 160GB WD. I'm going to buy an enclosure for the old 80GB with my next paycheck. Anyone know of a nice metal 2.5" SATA enclosure? Laughing

Wow!

(2) 500 GB
(3) 320 GB
(2) 300 GB
(6) 60 GB <- hey, I keep my original Apple drives, they're all in external cases
(2) 120 GB <- WD drives that did not play nice in our MacBook's at all
(3) 80 GB
(1) 100 GB
3520 GB, less formatting loss, around 3200 GB.

Cool

2x 10GB in external 2.5" FW enclosures
