Will all the new stuff fit on the 80GB USB HD?



FWIW my current bb folder, Properties, tells me I have about 65g in there. Give or take, there may be some rogue wma, mp3 or wav files in there also, from beta testing and the like.

So IMO they will fit, but just barely because I like to leave freespace of about 20% or so on any drive, for reasons that should be obvious, fragmenting, overhead, etc.

This is NOT the Audiophile addition with the WAV files, though. Although I did convert several RealTracks to wav just to test things during beta tests. So my report is likely a wee bit on the high side, which in this case should be viewed as a good thing, "worst case scenario" and all that.

Properties reported 65gb, with a rather cryptic, "69,xxx,xxxbytes" being reported on the same line.

These USB drives are getting larger and more economical every day, I might just pick up a larger one and dedicate it to BIAB now, something with a fullsized 7200rpm disk with at least 8mb buffer in it, I'll bet RealTracks load a bit faster then, especially if I do it with FireWire as vs USB2...
