Video sucks up space. Music, pictures and PDF suck up the rest on my
system. Even so, I don't use more than about 250GB. I have been
thinking of putting my whole collection of DVDs on the computer and
that takes up 8GB per film but I only own about 20 films, some people
have 100. I have talked my self into never buying a larger drive. LOL
Wait, I forgot the new HD Blue Ray disks, what are they? 25GB per
disk? :-) I don't like to hear my DVD player while watching disks nor
do I want to wear them out.
