That’s the number of gigabytes now in our main computer.
When I rebuilt the machine a couple of years ago, I included a 120 GB Samsung SpinPoint SATA drive, which I partitioned it in a ridiculous manner. All of the partitions are fine for organization, but have caused a space problem. When a partition fills up, what do you do? I’ve moved some data around and reallocated some space, but it still isn’t perfect.
Plus, I need to reinstall the OS as Windows is acting up (it created a second Administrator account all on its own). A nice clean install is in order.
With the new digital camera and digitizing all of our music, extra space was needed. So, I’ve added another Samsung SpinPoint drive, this time a 500 GB model. It is way more space than I need now and for the next couple of years, but it was only $120. And at least now I know I’m not going to run out of room any time soon.
I bought another Samsung because, frankly, I’m very happy with the first one. The biggest attraction: they are almost totally silent, even when in full seek mode.
