Quote - I would suggest that you get more than one HD, make the first one 2TB+ and have a secondary or even third at 1TB. Having lots of space for poser work and other media really is a life saver and it's always good to have back ups in multiple places.

That seems like a good amount to have if you store a lot of media on your computer but seems like overkill for a workstation...

I'd use 128GB SSD for primary drive (fast booting and launching), just installing the OS and apps on it.  Then I'd go for a 500GB-2TB (depends on your budget) secondary drive for work, content, etc.  But I'd also recommend a 500GB+ USB drive.  You can back things up to it, and it would make setting up your next system easier.

I'm ashamed to admit how little space is actually taken up by things I have made versus all of the other junk I keep on my computer.

I'm also ashamed that the 500GB USB HD I bought for backing things up is still in its box.  Why is it so hard to take the time to back things up?

I'm using a CyberPower Phenom II X4 910 system right now, BTW, and I love it.
