ok, I don't use my computer for much but seriously... what exactly would the average person need that much for?

 

[MyJeep]

Download. A lot of download. That is what my desktop doing 24 hours a day. I never turn it off anyway so what is better than fully utilize it ?

 

[retarded pilot]

lessen...youd be surprised...a little video editing..some downloading..etc..

and for performance you should only use about half the space of your hard drive...after that you start slowing down

btw..i just did a upgrade of my aunts computer and she was still useing a 1gb hard drive lol

holy crap i dident think they had a 2gb pen drive yet!!
i bet that would take a while to transfer 2gb to it

I definitely could fill that thing. I have not really done much downloading in a while because I desperately need more hard drive space. Holding out until next month to get two of these. 100GB more space for less than the cost of that drive.

Keep a pad nearby, and write everything down.

 

[Buncrana]

To be honest, the only things I actually back up are family photos, everything else I either got on disc or I can download again.

Why would you use that instead of another 400GB IDE drive for less than 9% of the cost?
