I get the point, but I managed to fill my 160GB drive with mostly work=20
related software and files. I think (as I mentioned yesterday) I could=20
easily shave some off, but around 100GB is taken up with stuff I would=20
much prefer to stay on here for access time purposes. All my media=20
(along with more work related stuff) is on my 2TB and 1.5TB network drives.
When you add it all up, it's not too hard to fill a drive if you use a=20
lot of bloated dev tools + "accessories" e.g. VS, Win SDK, QT, Intel=20
C++, Office, SQL, FPGA dev tools, PIC + other uC dev tools,=20
PCB/Schematic tools, Second OS, etc etc. I do a "clean" out every 3=20
months or so of old/unused software, but it still keeps growing slowly=20
over time. Makes sense I guess as software is getting larger in general.
Personally I would prefer at least 128GB on my "main" drive, but each=20
person has their own way of doing things I guess.
