[ 1 TB Harddrive -] - Page 2

The actual size is really 1024GB, a device can't calculate wrongly. But OS uses resources, so you'll end up short in the end anyway... :|

And if this behemoth gets an internal IDE or whatever version, I'm getting it ASAP! No more space problems for the rest of....... for a while

It would be good for video editing, it just chews it up.

Bought 40 gb last summer and was hoping it would last at least for a year... nope... no chance... but it's better than the 6.4 gb I had before... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well you can always tell how much space the OS is to store metadata since each file under properties has a "size" and a "size on disk" attribute. The former is the actual size in bits - so yeah some space is always wasted but you gotta have somewhere to store the security settings and status flags.

Believe it or not, sometimes Vaskez makes sense.

Harkoliar, you're not allowed to talk anymore...GOSH, I only have a 700MHz chipset! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! but is it really necessary to defrag an external?

Zuvio · 01-24-2004, 06:15 AM

I never defrag period. No need to. It sucks.

Callum Kerr · 01-24-2004, 06:17 AM

I have to agree...

I can never get it to work anyway...
