I remember that sound. Wow, I had one of these.
-
At least in my room, the best sounding hard drives are the ones that don't make noise. :-)

@Maxxarcade These are very cool! I have two CYs and one normal.

@Jcc3279 Yep, I knew a few people that had the 486 and Pentium Packard Bells.

Do you remember Packard Bell Computers I have a old Legend 422cdt still use it to play my DOS Shooter games on it I still have a copy of Duke Nukem 3d on this computer.
I know packard bell's were garbage machines and still are but it did what I needed it to.
Good old Pentium 133mhz.
it has 61mb of ram.

i own 5 of them all new found in a box of old computer stuff from a shop that went under

i remember having that conversation with you years ago when we both had a bigfoot drive lol
-
whats sad, is i am using around 4 or 5tb of nothing but videos, movie backups, ISO backups, etc.
My first hard drive believe or not was 40 MB I think was made by Seagate. Yes I actually thaught the same about filling that.

@tommee10533 I had one for my first hard drive too. Was it the 43MB one that was gold in color and kind of tall?

I've learned over the years to never say again "I'll never fill that hard drive". Taking HD video and attempting to store it on hard drives can easily fill up even the biggest drive in no time at all!

@bigdwiz Yep, that's my situation as well. I still think it's funny when everyone asks me why I need a 3.7TB file server. I don't exactly store the only copy of each video on Youtube. Keeping each raw clip, along with the final edited video really adds up quick. Plus the general data backups.
