Did you ever wonder what happened to your hard drive space?! I've been struggling to regain precious room on my 30GB hard drive that is devoted to the Poser installation, Poser downloads and Poser artwork. I never paid attention to the details before. Here is a list of file sizes for Dionne (for Stephanie) with an Adventurer's Outfit. Note, the psd and jpg images were rendered at 640x640. The jpg was saved at maximum quality resolution. If you have a more complex image, the pz3 file is going to be larger, etc. Ron

I remember buying my first 300meg hard drive thinking "I'll never need more spae than this!". Now I'm looking into getting a 100Gig hard drive.

Wow, my 40 gig cost $300, I can't imagine what a 100 gig would set me back... Tilandra

That's why I'm still looking! I'm spending more on this stuff than I do the house! There must be a support group for this kind of addiction....:)

Heh, I believe we're already in it! Tilandra

Ron ~ Maybe you can put your PZ3's onto cd's, possibly re-writables, make one for Steph, one for mike2, etc. And catalog them as to what is where, you might be able to find a shareware cd catalog program at www.tucows.com. Or maybe add a second drive. Might be able to pick up a 20 gig drive for around 79-89 bucks. Just a thought.........

Western Digital is Firewire?? This is a possibility-- USB is waaaay too slow to deal with. Having spent the last two days transferring Poser to my laptop to save my circulation probs, I'm left with only 3Gs left for scratch-- that's if I don't buy more-- pause for maniacal laughter. And I haven' downloaded much of my free stuff yet. Sigh. I'd call this an addiction but since it makes my life bearable right now-- lets just say obsession, huh? Emily By the way, Ron, your free faces for Mike ROCK!!

200Gig for $500 and change. Gee, I'll never need more space than that!...........(an additional pause for histerical laughter, as I watch myself growing a DASD farm!)

Just went to WD site. They have an external 120Gb firewire drive for $349. It's not in stock. But the price is right!

I remember trying to buy a smaller HD for my first IBM clone becaue I never thought I'd fill up 32 Mb! I have dual 30 GB drives right now, I might add another 40 GB or two (my current system supports 8 IDE devices), but after a point it really gets to be housekeeping, you can fill up any HD(s) eventually! The 32 Mb drive was about $450, incidently, my Segate 4096 (80 Mb) on my 386 was close to $600, but gee, what a hunk of iron, FULL HEIGHT 5 1/4" DEVICE!! Them days we had real computers! When I gey my first 3 1/2" drive I thought it was the connector, I kept looking through the packing for the real drive.

+Checks his free HD space...+ Mhhh 345Mb left... sigh... Thank God I'll get my Holiday pay next month, new computer time :)

petrabytes? That's when they're made of rock? They skipped right over terabytes?

jmahoney ( ) posted Sun, 31 March 2002 at 6:57 PM

That's what I need! A 160 Petrabyte hard drive! And then partition it into 32,000 logical drives, I'll never find anything again.

geoegress ( ) posted Sun, 31 March 2002 at 9:05 PM

ya there new config does jump over ALL previous limits. even those imposed by windows. 1.9 petrabytes max.

Hey Yall , let me tell you about 3.5" firewire drive enclosures. CompUSA and a company called Pyro make hard drive enclosures that connect to your PC via firewire, 400mbps transfer capable. you can put ANY IDE UDMA 33/66 or ATA 100 hard drive in them. price range is 75-99$ not a bad solution for those extra drives laying around. also i think its a bit cheaper to get a drive and then the enclosure as opposed to the "whole package deals" that maxtor and WD have. Happy Rendering , JWKub

Yeah - I got me one of those 160 petrabyte drives three years ago - still waiting for it to finish formatting so that I can use it...
