Across internal and external hard drives, ALL computers, but not phones, consoles or flash drives how much total drive space do you have?
I have 4TB in this room between my media centre and 2 laptops. How many TB do you have?

= 3.5T usable
External drives = 500G x 3 + 350G x 2 = 2.2T
Desktop drive + laptop drive = 2 x 500G = 1T: 966.3 Gi 500GB system drive, 500GB+750GB+1TB USB drives, and a 1TB Firewire 800 drive.

I have quite a few external hard drives that I want to store off-line, and possibly off-site.
The contents is not saved in a structured manner, however; basically there's lots of project data for lots of projects.
