I'll have to give it a try and see how it works. At home I have 500GB and I have been very conservative with my space. I'm always going through and deleting old crap to keep free disk space even though I have quite a bit to spare. This looks like a pretty cool tool. I’ll have to give it a try and see how it works.

A friend of mine just recently setup network storage with 4 500GB drives. The scary thing is that not that long ago people were amazed when they had 1GB of storage and people now carry more than that in their pocket. :) The beautiful thing is that with the price of storage that isn’t too expensive to do.

I used to remember when people who had 1 gig hard drives would say, "There's no way we can use all this space" haha <br /> @Mark: Haha I'll go look for something buddy :lol: @Derek:

My 80GB partition got full and fragmented so fast, i didnt realise until the comp started lagging badly. I havebt been backing up my snaps for a while and when the thumbnails began to hang while opening i knew it was time to give the drive a health checkup. As expected, disease- fragmentation. Cure- too low on free space :cry: Its so very easy to fill up the drives these days. My 80GB partition got full and fragmented so fast, i didnt realise until the comp started lagging badly.

For instance, I have defrag running once a month on the first day of the month at 3am. @Mike :: You might want to consider setting up a scheduled job to run the defrag on a regular interval at a time when you aren’t using the machine.

It's the burning of tons of crap I download that I'm not so good at keeping up with. If I could make my computer load a blank DVD and burn all the junk I download at scheduled intervals that would be nice :) Well the defrags I do often.
