How many Hard Drives (HDD/SSD) do you own?

[compl3x]

Extra points if you have very rare, old school, or in some way interesting HDDs. We'll stick to HDD & SSDs. We all hgave a desk full of USB sticks or SD cards. No one wants to count those.

 

I realised I have a lot (at least to me it's a lot) of HDDs. 5 in a external enclosure. 4 in various consoles. 2 in My NAS. 3 In my desktop PC. 1 in my Laptop. 1 connected to a TV to act as a DVR.

 

Alll of these are in use. I don't have any put away.

 

 

Your turn.

[cork1958]

I have a total of 11 hard drives.

 

1 in each of 9 computers, 4 laptops and 5 desktops plus 2 external drives.

 

I didn't count the hard drives not in use in which I have another 5.

WOW.... umm...

 

I honestly don't even know an exact number

 

I know I have around 30 SSD's.. ( I say around because their might be some  i'm forgetting)

54 Hard drives that I could locate and count. (I already edited his post and increased that number by 4, because I remembered some more) Though I do have another box full of about 10 more old ones.

[devHead]

I have:

• 2 SSDs (one I just bought to replace the smaller 80 GB from a few years back)
• 3 HDDs (one 1 TB, one 3 TB, and an external 640 GB for Backups)

@Warwagon

 

Care to share why you are in possession of so many? Are these owned by you for personal use or do you use them for work (e.g. you have spares on hand to replace failed drives for clients)?

[ANON86364]

I have 20+, that's all I know 

 

I have a set of four 500GB from an array that I had upgraded and another set of 1TB. I have several other 500GB and 1TB drives laying around that are mostly used or refurbished. My personal computer has three as shown in the specs below. I also have spare laptops with drives in them.

I have two old hdds, a 2 TB main drive and a 250 MB drive solely for backups. I would also include my ~1 TB OneDrive.

For my own use, between various workstations and work related servers, 12 SSDs or thereabouts in active use.. plenty of mechanicals too for bulk storage/games/whatever but the primary drives are all SSDs now, can't go back.  Mechanical is probably about 30-40 (arrays and such).  Got some more SSds on hand but they're in the pile along with a bunch of mechanicals, for client usage, backup/replacements, etc.  No idea how many in the upgraded/retired pile, quite a few, just can't bear to toss them.  Even got a couple MFM and RLL's laying around, never know when you need to bludgeon an intruder.

I feel compelled to ask, WW, are you a hoarder? If I asked you how many motherboards, monitors, or memory you had would you also rattle off a big lists?
