I don't really organize my files. I reformat every few months, backing up only the essentials. If I can't find something, it clearly wasn't too essential, so off it goes.

main disk : 20 GB
- OS
- Program Files
- My documents

Games : 80 GB
- installed games
- game ISO's

FTP1 : 120GB
- program ISOS
- series

FTP2 : 120 GB
- series
FTP3 : 180 GB
- pron
- art
- mp3
FTP4 : 180GB
- movies
- mp3
FTP5 : 400 GB (2x 200GB striped)
- movies
- series
- games

Dump : 120 GB external Firewire
- downloads and unsorted stuff

soon another 4x250 GB will be added to my system as i'm running out of space real fast

they will probably be used to resort and group the stuff thats split up on different disks right now

making a grand total of 2.12 TB hard disk space

I have one hard drive used for long-term storage of videos/music/etc, and then another hard drive for the applications and operating system. That way if I have to format, I dont loose anything that I want to keep. If I do save stuff to the OS drive, then I always put it in the "My Documents" folder, and then back that up if (when) I format. I also burn very important things to a cdrw once in awhile just in case.

Wow, just wow. What type of connection are you running that ftp off of? I couldn't imagine having that much and using that much space. What's the address of your ftp?

Ripp3r · 10-29-2003, 06:40 AM

the disks are just called FTP... I don't run an actual FTP server myself, my cable connection only supports an upload of 16K/sec
which is waaaaaaaay to slow to do any serieous stuff

downloads however come in at 600K/sec

most of my stuff is gathered at lanparties

I've got 1 partition for Windows and 1 partition for Program Files, and subfolders including Applications, Media, Documents, Newsgroups, Putithere (upload dump folder).

That way if Windows fucks up I can just format my C: and keep my registry and installed programs intact for ever.
