    I've had my current laptop for 2 years now with a 1tb HDD. This is how much I've used so far:

    Laptop and rig both have 1TB drives, have only used 40/80/160GB drives before. Only filled up between 250 and 350GB per computer.

    Ever since I first switched my laptop to a 50GB SSD years ago, I haven't been able to stand having an HDD in a laptop since then. I just hate everything about them. Noise, vibration, power usage, speed, etc.

    So yeah, I have probably 600GB+ worth of SATA laptop HDDs sitting around including one weird tiny sized one that came with a secondary drive bay I got for my laptop. (Which, of course, I put an SSD into so for awhile I ran dual SSDs in my laptop because why not.)

    The weird one is a 120GB Samsung that's about in between the size of a normal laptop HDD and a ZIF drive.

    My desktop has 1Tb hard drive and only 23Gb left. :( Need to make a major cleanup and uninstall several Steam games that I don't play that much. I would really like to get Fallout 4 and maybe even the new NFS when it comes out so I desperately need that space.

    Ordered a blue front panel for my iPad, and the iOpener kit to help me replace it.

    I broke it last week by bumping it while setting down a glass of water.

    Up until 09 i had a Maxtor 4GB hdd. Now i have a 1tb one and will be buying a second soon since i am out of space. The second drive will also allow for me to migrate my OS to an ssd in the future.

    for anyone who wants to know here's how much space I have on my hard drive on my laptop and a plug in hard drive I use to back up all my stuff.

    random question when I get my new laptop (if it happens) will my games work if I just copy them over from my current laptop or will I have to redownload them (as I have issues with a small data cap)?

    Yes, if you are a company or run a home server, then of course these things are useful. But I hear people recommending to others a 4TB hdd for their puny laptop, that's more of what I meant.

    Depends. Copying installations generally doesn't work because of registry changes or different file paths, but if you clone a hdd, then image a new hdd as that clone it will work exactly the same.

    well in theory it would work as I will install them here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

    but it will be a pain in the ass if I had to download them again especially when I don't have unlimited.

    You can just copy and paste steam games. That will work. Steam will probably do a 10mb download on each of the games to check that everything is good and reinstall then they should work. I have used this to transfer steam games onto my tablet in the past.
    Games that dont use steam may not work like that, i also have no idea if uPlay or Origin works like this too.

    well of course they would make it work especially when you have massive games like GTA V you wouldn't want to spend hours redownloading it.

    Has anyone tried a ghost pepper before? I just had a piece smaller than a sprinkle and it stung like crazy! You might think that size would not sting but you are wrong.

    When it comes to valve and steam never expect anything to work the way it logically should. The steam client has been getting slower and more bloated as time goes on, the slowness is on both device i own too. Perhaps its time for a new steam client, one that is more efficient and more reliable that has a decent web browser so store pages are not super slow.

    I was busy and couldn't text my girlfriend today. Now she's pissed at me.

    I was planning something for her upcoming birthday. You try to make people happy, ya know?

    Don't know if I ever want to play this game ever again. The anti cheat is literally there to kick legitimate players :|
