Limited Space
Posted in 
I have been downloading at a very high rate over the past two months, and I’m reaching a bottle neck which I didn’t think I would hit this quickly. I am currently running out of space on my main systems. I’m filling up my hard drives with TV shows, Anime, and movies.
Space Breakdown:
- Main PC (Armor Jr) :
- Space: 698 GB
- Free Space: 27 GB
- External (USB Attached Maxtor):
- Space: 233 GB
- Free Space: 58 GB
- Infrant NV+ (Network):
- Space: 1603 GB
- Free: 231 GB
- Network Drive (Maxtor):
- Space: 278 GB
- Free Space: 198 GB
- Total Space: 2812 GB
- Free Space: 514 GB
- Free Space: 18.3%
I had a simple process of moving old things to the Infrant and keeping new things on the Main PC, but I reached a bottleneck with that a few weeks ago and so I started moving some data over to the external storage and some over to the network drive. I had a system before but now that just doesn’t accomodate the amount of data that I am downloading. I have to figure out a different system of moving things over, I don’t even have enough time to watch all that I am downloading, but I want to download all that is available now so that if it isn’t available in the future at least I could. I have to figure out a new system, this isn’t the total amount of space that I have available but I need to figure out where to move all my media at this rate it is just getting all filled up. Before I thought I could just organize all my photos at a later point, and I kept postponing so many things but at this point I have to organize my pictures, music and other folders so that I can utilize all the space I have efficiently, since I have more to download.

Though it might not be the perfect solution that you are looking for, but you could at least think about it.
Have you ever heard about a “not so popular” feature within Win2k or win2k3 server called: “Removable Storage Services”?, where the system archives older or non-referenced data to another media, a Tape or DVD device, based on your migration criteria.

hmmm sounds like a big dilemma: once you get some free time you need to decide whether to organize your downloads or watch your downloads. If you choose organize, you’ll only be more tempted into watching as you go through them. Good luck.

So, what will you do? Planning spring cleaning?
My God! You’re a mouse potato, huh? Too many things stored. When do you enjoy them?

welcome to the world of no disk space… dude, we have all been facing this problem… some more than others… as for me i just burn what ever i can on to dvd’s… usually in 1 or 2 sittings i’ll go thru an entire 50pack… ATM i have 3 200-dvd folders (full) 1 320-dvd (full) and a whole bunch of 128 dvd ones… and i still have no space… My wife actually suggested tossing out the older stuff…

Laialy: Its going to take some time! Thats for sure!
: I know about the removable storage but I really don’t like how that works. I just have to organize my things and then get a storage server with a raid controller and maybe run Windows Home Server on it to manage it, that is what I was thinking in the long run!
K: That is on the other network! hahaha
Ansam: Thanks!
TAT: I know what you mean, I’m worried about it so I’m backing it up to my NAS which has redundancy!
Noor: yup!
Kim: Thanks, I realy do need to organize so that I can put a few things in the right place!
Ruby Redux: I’m honestly just downloading a lot, but I don’t have enough time to watch it all!
mocman: Never throw out the old stuff! I don’t want any DVDs and burning them is that last thing I would do. I probably want to get some sort of extra space to start organizing things.
El Aly: shut up, I don’t delete son!
