So.... Time to get a new HDD
« on: June 03, 2011, 04:29:16 PM »
So, my computer tells me I'm running low on space LOL Time to get a new HDD.  I've put all my entire "My Documents" folder into my External HDD that I use for my Karaoke business for now.  Also, until I find an HDD I'll be playing BC from an external HDD Source (when I find an HDD to go inside the case that I have so I can transfer said files from the Karaoke HDD to the new one that is).  Fun times indeed!!!  Does anyone know if they still make 160 GB HD's in IDE format?

Just thought I would point this out for some people out there...80 gigs is NOT enough to run an operating system.  For me 160 will be plenty.

I did a quick google search and got a ton of hits, they're all about $40-50

That's a pretty good price... I need to get a HDD for my PS3 now... it's low on space... looking at 320 to 500 GB... Luckily my PC has no problem... I've fitted it with 2.5TB worth of Hard Drives. Next step for it is SSD's!
