Oh Joy!, Trying to organize my files.... I've got 14 physical hard drives attached to my PC and decided tonight that I was going to organize all of my media files so that certain shows and documentaries aren't spread out across the drives. this way I can clean up my libraries and make it easier to find stuff.
It's gonna take a while.
Sometimes I envy the people that only have 1 hard drive in their machine.
Guess I'll make me some coffee since I have to drive my brother and father to the airport at 4:30am, it's 12:47am right now. | My System Specs |

for your very important files you should have 3 copies, 1 on the computer, 2 removable or external USB/e-SATA/1394 with 1 of them offsite and rotated with the other one every 2 weeks or every month. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HAL-9000 OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CPU Intel i7 3770K Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 Memory 16GB DDR3 1333 Corsair XMS3 Graphics Card XFX HD6950 2GB EyeFinity Sound Card Logitech G35 & Sennheiser PC135 & VIA HD Monitor(s) Displays 23" HP 2310e, 23" Samsung B2230, 21.5" Viewsonic Screen Resolution 5760x1080 Keyboard Logitech G15 and G13 Mouse Logitech G700 Gaming Mouse PSU Antec True Power New 650watt Case Cooler Master HAF-932 Cooling Corsair H60 Hydro Cooler, 3x 230mm Fans, 2x120mm Fan Hard Drives 16TB of Storage
