Hi guys, I am curious to know how much storage you are using on your products, I would be grateful if you could answer these few questions and even pass this link on to others if you like. I don't mind if it is a Humax product or not.

Hi Bob,
If it's of use, I can provide anonymised data for the Humax devices that use the hummypkg remote scheduling portal.
I'm not typing all of them into the survey form though

af123,
If you have it then it would be wonderful. I am happy to share some of my observations if people wish.
I'm just doing some 'futurologist' stuff and storage is a boring but important aspect.

The fewer comments I have on the form the less complicated it is for me to manage the raw data! I don't want to make a thesis out of this, just some informal numbers.
Thanks to you and everyone else, even the relatively few results I have so far have been interesting.
Thanks Barry.

af123,
If you have it then it would be wonderful.I've extracted stats for 600 randomly selected Humax devices which are registered and placed them at http://hummypkg.org.uk/humaxdisk.csv
These are all freeview boxes, either HDR-Fox T2 or HD-Fox T2 which is indicated by the first column. The subsequent columns are disk used, disk size and percentage used.

Thanks af123, so the simple answer is 44.8%! (Or 46% for HDRs only).

I think people tend to keep their disks about 50% full, regardless of the size of disk : ) It is likely that they do some pro-active cleaning up once it's over half full.
There is definitely a sense of well being that's associated with dropping it back below 50%, although we've recently been able to squeeze an extra 10-20% out of the disk be removing redundant EIT packets from the stored recordings which is how I got mine down to size!
