Store Developer docs on a compressed disk image
I'm sure you'll let us all know where we can purchase that $.50 1 GB of disk space and add it to our current hard drives.

Are you joking? Just last month I got a LaCie Firewire 250GB drive for $89 at the local MicroCenter without even trying. Looking on Pricewatch shows that you can get an internal 500GB drive for around $100. So the OP was actually being very generous, and you're only really saving about $0.20!

You miss the point; while 1GB may only cost $0.20, you can't upgrade your current hard drive in 1GB increments. Instead, to upgrade a drive, you have to a) pay $89, b) transfer all your files over, and c) install the drive in your computer. I think this solution is rather more convenient than that.

Well you'd be wrong, mainly because you're not considering the long-term costs in maintenance. If you really just need another gig, as I said, a $10 thumb drive is likely to be a better investment than constant micromanagement of "live" compressed images. When it gets right down to it, all of /Developer is under 2GB, too, so the smart money would be to just drop $20 on a thumb drive large enough to hold it all (or stuff in on some unused iPod space) and forget about it when you're not doing development.
Laptop drive prices
These don't look like prices for laptop drives, but for 3.5-in. drives.

I don't see your point. Even at Flash drive prices of $10/GB you don't even cover minimum wage for two hours of work managing the disk space for eternity. There will unquestionably be future work maintaining the compressed image through system updates that totals more time, multiplied by however much more you make than minimum wage. If you're ever in a real crunch for disk space the best approach is to mass delete the stuff you don't need, not micromanage it. |
