Default pc organization - 04-26-2007, 04:46 PM

how do you guys organize your drives and information?
i'm just wondering, i've got a lot of shit to spread around but i just got four 250gb drives (i can only fit 3 drives in my computer though). on the side i've got an 80gb, 200gb external, and two 180gb drives.

Same. Break it all down to media, and then further into categories.

With 1TB of memory you should be able section off shit pretty well.

The most important thing is to STICK to it - have one section be your default Download section, and update it regularly putting shit where it needs to go. My HD's are a fucking NIGHTMARE right now. . .because Im so god damned lazy.

yeah i've always had a set "incoming folder" in which shit gets sent off from there. i try to make the best use of 'my documents' i can. i'll figure it out as i go along. hopefully i can just throw old shit into a 2006 folder and start a new 2007. i regret not using dates as a means to organize everything from the beginning. any tips or advice anyone?

lol christopher walken

Exactly what my desktop looks like, because its so much easier to click on "DESKTOP" when "Saving To" or "Extracting To" than sledge through drives and folders. . .but in the end, I cant find half the stuff I need, and when I swap out drives, I cant remember where shit is - not just the awesome porn I get a boner over everytime I watch, but important shit - like Taiwan Tentacle Titty Torture movies. . .

i love how if you fill your desktop it keeps going off to the right, so then you just drag the stuff you can see and when you select align to grid a few months later you are surprised by a multitude of porn you thought you had lost

Two 80 gig Seagates formerly raid 0. In this build raid was a pain in the ass and i saw no real benefit from it last build, so im just using them seperatly. One as the OS drive, and the other as the "media" drive.
