[00:06] <Twiggy2cents> what is the typical size of the operating system (obviously mythbuntu)
[00:06] <Twiggy2cents> Just the installed size.  Recordings are housed in another drive
[00:14] <tgm4883> Twiggy2cents, looks like mine is 3.3GB
[00:15] <Twiggy2cents> Okay I am gonna build a new backend... Dang technology
[00:15] <Twiggy2cents> I have 3 IDE drives.
[00:15] <Twiggy2cents> I have one sata though.
[00:15] <Twiggy2cents> It will be condensed into 2 storage and 1 boot so that will be better
[00:16] <Twiggy2cents> I think my cheapest route is to just get a 40gb hdd anyway
[00:16] <Twiggy2cents> It is cheaper than ssd's
[00:16] <tgm4883> yea
[00:17] <Twiggy2cents> Prices seem to be going down.. slowly though.  2TB drive is $100 and 40gb is $13
[00:19] <tgm4883> 2TB for $100 seems about back to normal
[00:20] <Twiggy2cents> yeah they were going for about $70-$80 preflood
[00:20] <tgm4883> I don't recall seeing them that low, but that's a pretty good price
[00:21] <tgm4883> i wasn't looking either though
[00:22] <Twiggy2cents> I wasnt either, that is just what I read in the reviews of this drive
[00:31] <patdk-lap> I haven't seen 2g for <$120
[00:31] <patdk-lap> and I'm looking
[00:31] <patdk-lap> I need 30t :(
[01:22] <Twiggy2cents> heh I think 30t only comes in BigFoot drive size!
[03:03] <rhpot1991> prices are still a little high on hard drives
[03:04] <rhpot1991> I've been watching some western digital enterprise level drives for my nas and amazon is still about 33% over the pre-flood low price
