1) how big is your "My Documents" folder?
2) how big is your music library?
3) how big is your total digital footprint (all your data)?
for me.....
1) 19.8 GB measured today
2) 22.7 GB measured today
3) roughly 120 GB (music stuff, docs, production stuff & samples, sets, apps)
... wow I think it's time for an external hard drive for backups!! |

heh. I hate it because some programs install folders in it that can't be moved without a lot of effort. Not worth the hassle to keep it maintained the way I want.
As for how much data I have, I don't know. Everything I have is scattered across numerous backup disks, usb keys and whatnot. I can't even give a good estimate, because I need to sort out duplicates and old files. Maybe ~300 gigabytes? |

About 33% Free Space On All Drives...
I don't use My Documents (I spread stuff out on the other drives in case of crash), and iTunes is about 30GB but a lot of stuff isn't imported. |

There is a way but I wouldn't recommend it. If you have lots of files on those drives now, it would require more effort to complete this than what it's really worth. If you were to do this, you would have to backup your data somewhere else, reformat, then when you partitioned your drives you would create them as dynamic disks. You could then add multiple disks together to create one logical disk from several physical ones. Then, everything is golden. However, say a disk dies on you. You would probably have to delete the volume you established and that would mean deleting the data. So, unless you've had your disks in this arrangement from the first time you plugged them in and you are very faithful in your drives, then this is just more trouble than what it's worth.
I'm not entirely sure but a RAID controller might also work and be a better option than converting to dynamic disks. However, I've never used RAID so you'd have to find out for yourself or ask someone who has experience with RAID. |
