Shared Network Storage

HSC NetID/Novell Accounts allow access to the shared network file system through logical drives, H, O, and S.


  • The H Drive is the Home directory; this is the drive used to store work-related information. The contents of the H Drive are backed up to tape.


  • The O Drive houses departmental data which is meant to be shared among departmental users. The HSC HelpDesk will create access to the O drive at the request of an immediate supervisor. O drive data is also backed up to tape.


  • The contents of the S drive are accessible to ALL HSC employees who have HSC NetIDs. It is public: do not store private data on the S Drive! S drive contents are not backed up and may be deleted at any time.
