Just curious, to know how much disk space you have allocated for GBPVR ?

I had a 160GB disk, for recordings really (ok 1 dvd movie which we wanted to see but havent) and this weekend I found it was full. I am a bit surprised - didn't think we watched (or had to watch) that much. Delete the stuff we have seen.

So I just added 230GB more.

Wondering what everyone else uses

I have a 250G disk on the server that I use for a combination of MP3s, digital pictures and video captures. I haven't filled it yet, as most video captures are only kept for a week or 2, with the exception of kids programs, that my son watches over and over and over and ........

I have a 160 dedicated to PVR and misc media. There is about 10 gig used for the misc stuff so 150 for PVR. I typically have less the 25 gig free, and find I am recording way more than I can watch.

2 90's, a 200, and a 250 in the system.
One 90 is split for OS and misc storage, the 200 for all my video work (encoding/authoring etc.) and the 250 for recordings (video and audio).
You can never have enough tuners!

Only an 80GB drive... 8GB for the OS partition and apps and the rest is for recordings. I usually have 20GB free... but as my "Lost" archive keeps growing... I might need to add another disk Smile

Total = 360GB
Wow, how much noise does that generate?

200gb ide = $160nzd, sata = $180nzd, they're cheap, but theres no point upgrading from a 120 to 200gb, may as just wait for 400gb (which we you format will be more like 370gb, which is sad, i hate how they do that, you get all excited then you format it and your missing a few gb...... stupid decimal system.).

i have to upgrade my system drive to but theres no point buying anything under 120gb here, 60gb is more expensive than 80gb and 120 is only like $10-20 more than a 120, and a 120 gb drive seems like a waste for a system drive.

Wow. Count me in. Many times. Seems like a win-win situation ;-)

I have a 180GB drive, sorry to say it's not partitioned at all. I really should, but...
