Probably because too many and too long ago to remember.

My first was a 500mb seagate i think. Most memorable/weird would be a maxtor/quantum bigfoot 5 1/4. also because it died like 1 or 2 days after the warranty expired. longest lasting was probably a seagate 2.1gb. it was in a cupboard for years, and one day just tried it and it was working fine.

no way i can remember all of them.
 
i was using whatever my pc had coz it was never filling up even little

now i got dual 3tb hdds

bcoz reliance jio


jio launch offer forced me to pay 20k for hdd's

This is a pure Cartel by ambani...
 
You seriously downloading that much? I get frustrated and just turn the sh!t off. On my 2mbps plan (with caching), my monthly downloads are 300gb on avg.

ok i was over hyping in the last post but i did indeed buy 3tb hdd and plan to buy another.

well my steam lib had over 200 games using an old laptop i just 24x7 downloaded every game onto a 3tb hdd...terabyte gone

then...blizzard games ended up taking over and i racked up more 200gigs

then i pirated X-PLANE 10 ....100 gigabyte gone

then sorry but i thought it will be nice to download torrents of classical games I mean they were hardly a gigabyte...not until u decide to download 67 wii and ps2 games...
plus 4k content to watch on my tv........terabyte gone
