The next question became whether or not all of my existing external hard drives would fit on a single 8 TB external hard drive. Here are my drives and their capacities, as of today:
| Drive Letter | Used | Free | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| B | 1.93 TB | 1.70 TB | 3.63 TB |
| Drive M & N - the WD Cloud | 1.35 TB | 1.32 TB | 2.68 TB |
| U | 1.60 GB | 223 GB | 1.81 TB |
| V | 479 GB | 452 GB | 931 GB |
| Y | 2.16 GB | 1.47 TB | 3.63 TB |
| Z | 1.02 TB | 808 GB | 1.81 GB |
Side note: Google is awesome! I entered this string into the search box:
1.93 TB + 1.35 TB + 1.60 TB + 479 GB + 2.16 GB + 1.02 TB
and google spit out
(1.93 TB) + (1.35 TB) + (1.60 TB) + (479 GB) + (2.16 GB) + (1.02 TB) = 6.38116 terabytes
See for yourself -https://www.google.com/search?site=&source=hp&q=1.93+TB+%2B+1.35+TB+%2B+1.60+TB+%2B+479+GB+%2B+2.16+GB+%2B+1.02+TB&oq=1.93+TB+%2B+1.35+TB+%2B+1.60+TB+%2B+479+GB+%2B+2.16+GB+%2B+1.02+TB&gs_l=psy-ab.3..33i160k1.899.39938.0.40387.63.59.3.0.0.0.648.16553.2-1j22j14j4.41.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..19.15.5670.0..0j0i20k1j33i21k1.dhGSjqA2TSU- it's quite remarkable!
Then, I entered
3.63 TB + 2.68 TB + 1.81 TB + 931 GB + 3.63 TB +1.81 GB
and got this for an answer:
(3.63 TB) + (2.68 TB) + (1.81 TB) + (931 GB) + (3.63 TB) + (1.81 GB) = 12.68281 terabytes
It's like a present for English majors! <grin>
Finally, this is the amount of free space I have:
(1.70 TB) + (1.32 TB) + (223 GB) + (452 GB) + (1.47 TB) + (808 GB) = 5.97300 terabytes
So. I have a vision for copying all of my files to a single 8 TB external hard drive, which will have its cord far FAR away from my feet so I don't accidentally cause it to fall to the ground and discontinue working, and then to manipulate the storage space so as to use my current external hard drives as backups, perhaps by file type, perhaps not. I should probably plot out my strategy so as to have a single plan and a single idea as to what it will all look like when it is done.
