The one that it on my memory stick is SpaceSniffer. Been using that for a while now.

Over 60GB Of my Hard-Disk is used by AutoDesk Maya and AutoDesk 3ds MAX on my PC. Probably going to get a 1TB HDD From WD. Anybody got another hard-drive that they think is better?

I highly recommend WD's stay away from Seagate. One of my buddy's is an IT support guy, in fact he has his own tech show, look up on google Mike Tech Show ustream. Anyways he has had to replace all his Seagate backup drives for his customers because they all went bad within a year.

Thanks guys I'll probably get a WD 1TB Black. Funny thing is that the hard-drive that my family had which just failed was seagate.
