Slashdot (http://www.slashdot.org) has an interesting poll (http://slashdot.org/pollBooth.pl?qid=1659&aid=-1) asking users how much data they expect to retain by the year 2018. My question to you guys is how much data do you currently house within your household, and what is it mostly comprised of?
As of right now I'm housing roughly 437.78 gigs of data; Most of it is archived backups from these forums and other sites I own, as well as a lot of music and videos I've accumulated over the years.

I'm not sure how much of it is in use right now because it's turned off, but I'll fill in these numbers later when I know:
Laptop HD - 80gb (43gb used)
Mini (Server) HD - 80gb (38gb used)
External HD 1 - 250gb (?)
External HD 2 - 160gb (?)
External HD 3 (offline, case is broken) - 300gb (?)
External HD 4 - 40gb (?)
Xbox HD - 300gb (?)
Mine is mostly comprised of music*, movies and television shows as I am a horrible pirate who should be in prison.
* In my defense music piracy has led me to actually purchase CDs that otherwise I wouldn't have bought.

In computers and drives around .8Tb. In media (CD/DVD) backups probably around 1.1Tb. I should probably go through those and eliminate. The bulk of my data is music.

You say roughly and you have a decimal point? :lol:
