Well, the completist way is the way I've done things so far. But as I get closer to maxing out my hard drive I start to feel silly for contemplating buying a new hard drive just to store music.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What do you mean, "just" to store music? That's the best reason! Except for storing TV shows.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's certainly where most of my storage goes. It used to be that images ate my space. Pfah. They're nothing now.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, back when I had 500 GB of storage, it was mostly TV. And about 150 of the top 250 IMDB movies. That was fun.

I dunno. I feel like I should be using it for Photoshop and Dreamweaver and practical applications. Except that I'm doing a piss-poor job of making time to learn them. It's just that it makes me feel like I'm using my computer primarily as a toy rather than a practical item.

I have one 80gb drive for applications, a second 200mb drive for files other than music (graphics, html, spreadsheets, etc.), and a third 300gb drive dedicated to my music library for iTunes.

Coding and Sleeping
I have a 160GB drive on my main computer and a 320GB drive on my Windows computer which was full of TV, Music, and Pictures. I'm slowing deleting and archiving to DVD (data, not video) to pare things down enough to put the 320GB drive in my main computer. I keep getting tempted by this $98 250GB drive [link] but really once the great DVD project is over I will have plenty of space.

Hey. New board.
Well, I ordered my MacBook.
Dual-core 1.67 GHz with AppleCare. Didn't bother to upgrade the RAM or HD - I'll do the RAM myself, for much cheaper, and 80 GB should do me fine in disc space. I'm not the hog I used to be. Besides, I may buy a Firewire or USB enclosure for the 100 GB drive I recently put in my iBook.
Hope early-adopter doesn't bite me in the butt, but I'm ready for this upgrade.

Our wings are not tired
Storage is king. My G5 has a 300 GB, 160 GB, and 100 GB drives on it. My Win XP Box has 100 GB and 200 GB drives, in it. I've got a 500 GB firewire drive that travels with my laptop, and then about 500 GB in floating FW drives of various sizes.
