Where do you store your stuff?

[13CA350]

Does anyone else store most all of their data on a drive or server that's separate from my main rig? 

 

Im building a new rig for Ryzen, and I'm going to use a 128gb boot drive, and 512gb game drive (both SSD) but other than that, I'll be storing everything on my external raid drive. 

 

Its too much of a hassle when you use multiple devices for work, like me, to store everything on one pc. I feel like I can't be the only one?

 

I use multiple laptops for work aside from my main rig that I work on as well. When I need to switch devices, I just swap a few USB 3.0 Cables

Same, I have no money for a new NAS or storage so I just have large capacity hard drive for easy access,

At home I use a network share.

 

At work I have a file server.

 

Anything in-between I use a cloud service.

I have my OS, frequently played games, Adobe Suite on a 256b. SSD. The rest of my programs and files are stored on a 1tb. HDD. I have some games, all my movies, shadowplay and relive clips, and a backup of my PCs stored on a 4tb nas. Each of my computers files can also be accessed through network drives on my other computers. And all of my files are also backed up to the cloud and synced with my other PCs via OneDrive

I write my relevant data to a whiteboard and use a yardstick for easy access. Cheap and blazing fast

I don't have NAS, but I have external portable drives in use for either separate data storage or data backup/redundancy.

 

My desktop has a drive layout of:

• 256GB M.2 Windows OS Drive w/ priority apps
• 500GB SSD standard app drive
• 2x 3TB HDD in RAID 1, designated as the network data storage drive for my laptop and desktop to access either by wi-fi (homegroup share) or VPN (still working on that, just don't have time to config/test extensively).

Do you even copy your data to paper and then transcribe it onto a giant rock bro?

(I use a 2tb hitachi for backing up my data)

I don't have too much data yet, but I will need a better network storage solution soon. Right now I have a 128gb  850 evo as a cach and scratch disk and a 256 850evo for my OS and programs. Then I have a 1tb drive for my other media, a backup of my 256gb drive, games and other programs. Then I have another computer on my network with one 256gb adata premier SSD and a 2tb drive with a 500gb partition for that computers media and the rest of the drive for a backup of my main computers 1tb and that computers ssd.

 

Then I use Microsoft Onedrive to sync some random files using symlinks on my main computer.

Installers?

[BlueChinchillaEatingDorito]

- a 4TB WD external drive to back up systems before reinstalling Windows

- an older workstation with Windows Server installed that acts as a NAS.

[MedievalMatt]

Personally, i have a 3TB HDD for local game storage, and then an old server with a 9TB motherboard RAID array for NAS use and media server duty.

 

I have 500GB of free space left on my 3TB Drive QQ.

i hoard software

[Bananasplit_00]

everything is local, i dont have anything on my NAS, i only have that running for my parents so they can store things in it because they have super small harddrives and its going to be easier for me when i upgrade them later if they have all their files already

[TheNextLinus]

On my fine collection of 720K floppy's, all locally, spread over 20+ boxes
