Using Corsair Force 3 120GB here, im a heavy gamers
the stuff i install on the HDD
OS
Startup program such as Antivirus, MSN
some minor software - flash, java, winrar, quicktime, power dvd..etcetc
Some software like photoshop, lightroom, CorelDraw
no music or video save in this HDD
No game or whatsoever (Solitaire doesnt count)
current remaining HDD space are 24GB
why does it eat so much???
Thanks to the years and years of gaming save game file that cannot transfer other than C drive, (My document, Appdata, ProgramData), MSN chat log, gazillion of software log file that i cant understand. I do delete those folder software that I didnt use anymore. I backup the whole save game and sofware folder.
So if you are heavy gamers like me.... 1Tb wont be enough

best plan your HDD ahead
oh may i remind you that todays, smart phone and ipad (or any tablet) auto backup the whole content into your PC? and yeah, its more annoying now that i have to manually cancel it each time. Last time when i still using normal HDD i just let it slide and i do other thing instead. Since todays video and picture all in HD, it can take your HDD space in a blink.
