What size of hard drive do you consider to be negligible?

[Rajahal]

If you didn't figure it out, the idea is that you vote for the size (capacity) of hard drive that you consider to be negligible.  By negligible I mean 'not worth using, even if you have one laying around'.

 

I tried to make each option be a standard hard drive size.  If you don't see your choice, go for the next smallest.

 

I'm also allowing you to change your vote, since, well, times change.  What is true today may not be true a few months from now.

 

Loosely inspired by this poll.

It really depends on the context.  For unRAID I wouldn't "waste" a drive slot with anything under 500gb.  For my laptop something in the 200-300gb range would be fine.  I have an old 120gb laptop drive that I'm likely to use in a HTPC soon (using unRAID as the main storage of course).  If i had an 80gb drive I'd probably use it for the same.  I actually do have about half a dozen old 40gb drives that were pulled from Tivo's that were long ago upgraded.  Not sure why I keep them becasue I'll never use them.

Fair enough.  I meant in the context of unRAID.  I have a 30 GB SSD that I don't consider negligible at all, but I don't use it with unRAID.

I have a 2TB for parity, 3 1.5TB and 2 500gig drives.

 

Any replacement or additional drives I add will be nothing less than a 1.5TB drive.
