    Post Where do you store ROMs?

    Just wondering if you burn them to a cd and play them off the cd, or if you leave them on your computer. My current ROM count would completely bog my comp. down, so i've burned mine to cd's and play them that way.

    (yeah, i'm bored)

    Roms are not that big(except for psx and dreamcast isos). So I basically just store all of them in my Harddrive. I have a Maxtor 90 gigabyte hard drive by the way...


    They are hot, aren't they??

    I have a 60 gig drive and store all my roms on it. However, I am running VERY low on hard drive space right now and need another one. Read my Need Another Hard Drive! topic in the Computer Tech forum. I have over 30 gigs of roms and am down to less than a gig free!

    Default CDS!

    Yep, I store my roms on cds.

    why? because cds are CHEAPER than a HD

    I play mine of the HD. But I learned my lesson when my secondary HD crapped out and I lost 10+ gigs of roms and mp3s so now I back my favorites up on cd every so often.

    I don't have a CD-writer, so I store all of my roms and isos in my HD, but it's only 7.4 gig...

    CD of course....
    First, since I got my new CD-Rewriter I always.....
    Second, your h/d looks more tidied up....
    Third, it looks more professionell with more CDs (don't forget to label them!!!)
