how much storage do you have personally?

not as in how much are you using, how much drive space do you have inside your rig(s)

 

I personally have 3x 1TB HDDs and a 128SSD.

 

what do you have?

 

@Slick , what does everyone in the office have?

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

For personal use, my main desktop has a 256 GB SSD, a 3TB HDD for gmaing and whatnot. My laptop has 2 1TB hdds. I have various other hard drives around.

I'm buying more storage soon, probably like ~8TB of storage in raid, and will add as time goes on, because I really need more. Like a lot more. I could fill 10TB easily. 

I used to have a lot more storage, and I'm really hurting not having that. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Heck! Why do you need so much storage? :o

120GB SSD Boot Drive and a 512 GB SSD for storage and applications

 

I also have access to a 14TB NAS but I don't think that counts

I currently have an old HP Pre-Built that I'm planning to swap out with a custom built system, but my HP system has a 500GB internal HDD, but I have a 1TB external WD hard drive for backup.

256 GB SSD and a 2 TB HDD. Oh, no, wait. That is the marketing size. The actual size, of course, is 238 GB and 1.81 TB.

It's not a marketing size. You are wrong. It's even taught wrong, it's a common thing not to know the reason behind this

 

 

The only reason 1 GB is 1000 MB is because IEC is retarded. This wasn't true till 98

a GiB is 1024MB, that's where the two units come together

 

No, it's 1024 MiB, and it's a retarded idea that I refuse to accept and I much prefer the traditional measurement.

They don't "come together"

1 Gib= 1024 MiB

1 MiB = 1024 KiB

1 KiB = 1024 Bytes

Think of it this way, GiB/MiB/KiB is exactly the same as the traditional 1024 conversion that a lot of people still use 16 years later.

 

What?? I thought it was SI because of all Kilo and Giga can you elaborate please..

 

Long story short, it was on a 1024 scale, because that's just computer convent. Then IEC in their infinite wisdom decided it had to match SI.

It's not that they are wrong, but changing it after so long just leads to confusion, even now.

 

Which is wrong and a misconception and I wouldn't because a lot of people say it, Barnacules did it and I corrected him so did other people like newegg TV if it's wrong I will correct them it doesn't matter and a lot of forum members know that a 1 GB is 1000MB which dare I say are a tech community.

 

Thing is the majority of the tech community are older and grew up on the traditional definition, then in 98 some small groups of people decided to change that all.

Barnacules wasn't really wrong either- not only did he learn and start programming likely before the definition change, but as far as I know windows still uses the 1024 conversion. This is why a lot of people plug in drives and think the drive uses a lot of space up formatting or whatever. It doesn't. It's just on a 1000MB=1GB, and windows is not as far as I remember.

1 TB = 0.909495 TiB, and windows uses the TiB definition for TB

Yes you are right only MS does this Linux,OSX use decimal not binary and show it as decimal, Win uses binary units and shows them as decimal and that where a lot of problems happen like seeing HDD smaller than advertised.

im studying engineer in hardware, and they taught us that 1GB is indeed 1024MB.

And they are wrong. Sorta. Since 98.

I was taught that too.

then what is the real size of MB in 1GB?, so i can make a ruckus in my school for false information.

Well according to IEC and IEEE it is 1000 MB, which is 1000 KB, which is 1000 bytes.

1 GiB is 1024 MiB, and so on

That's pronounced Gibibyte, and sounds just as retarded as it looks. 

Drives use the new SI standard, both becuase it's an IEEE standard as of like 2000 or something like that. 

It was adopted by drive manufacturers For a few reasons

1.for mechanical drives at least (I can't speak for SSDs), the SI units make sense. It's not like memory

2. It's an IEEE standard, and if putting a mini dildo on your drive is a IEEE standard, you better do it or it's WRONG. Or something. Anyway they keep up to "code" with these standards, else the server market might catch on fire or something.

3. The new SI standard makes it look bigger. Would you rather market a  100 GB drive or a 93 GB drive?

 

Of course not everyone adopted. MS didn't for example. 

Have your professor/classmates do this:

Add up all of the size for the partitions in windows for a drive. I'll do mine

647GB, 495GB, 720GB

Those are the 3 partitions on my 2TB drive, those are all rough numbers, rounding down like in explorer for simplicity's sake.

As one volume, that would add up to 1862GB, which is not 2TB obviously. A LOT of techies will tell you it has to do with the formatting or windows or something, which is a load of shit. 

Windows just uses the old GB, now referred to as GiB.

If I take 1862GiB and convert it to GB (google will do this for you, their converter is correct) I get 1999.31, which without rounding down on the partition sizes and counting the ~100MiB system reserved partition would be 2TB or pretty damn close to it.

 

You'll also notice that windows has an area in file properties similar to this:

Size

Size on disk

The size on disk is their way of trying to bridge the gap. 

[i was wrong here, size on disk DOES NOT account for the new SI measurement.]

Now when it comes to memory and some other things, most manufacturers use the 1024 standard written as GB. That's a whole different story. 

This is a really confusing thing and this adaption of the SI units really muddied things up

I felt the whole conversation I had before would really help give it context, and the understanding that even several years later this is new info to people, and it's still muffed up.

There was even a law suit levied against like sandisk or someone on like 07 becuase they adopted the standard and MS didn't, and no one understands how this works

I hate the sound of hard drive noise  though  :(

 

Anything I put on my hard drive I have to make sure I will have headphones on at the time of using it, and make sure that it won't have to be accessed at night :/
