How much storage space do you need?
 

Just for fun poll....

I have at least three 2 TB drives in use. Or even more (including backups). And actually you are right, I don't really understand why do we need more than 100GB?
I was thinking about Bill Gates, who stated 640 kB is enough for everything. You probably remember it. At that time, a computer had a total of a few hundred kB of RAM. Now the editor vi executable itself is over 7MB.

I have 1.8TB data in use out of 10TB available (on my server). Room to grow if needed. Of course quite a few 4TB external drives to support backup needs. When I need a new drive, I check what is around $100 (my price point). That was a 2TB SSD, now looks like back to 1TB as prices are going back up. Oh, and data is not 'games' either... Not part of that culture.

I have lots of media files and backups thereof.

I have multiple hard disks between 250 and 500GB that I can use to store things if need be. Most of my distros are formated for 50-100GB /home partitions so I am able to spread storage across multiple booted distros if need be. So far have not run out of space on any of them.

Depends on hardware and use case.

57 gig sd card /home on my 16 gig ssd is enough for my Dell ll chromebook when watching a movie at night using mpv while camping on motorcycle.

In my Motorcycle Shop computer. 1TB is needed to hold all the pdfs , bills, repair videos, juke box mp3, etc............

Got 2x2T, 1X1.5Tb, 1x4Tb and 1x8Tb, I think I need more!

I have a 120GB drive. It was the smallest on offer — 32GB would have sufficed.

The new drive that I installed with forum help is 120 GB. Actually it is a wee bit small in that I can only have one LFS partition. I used to have two on the old spinning rust drive, which meant that I could alternate them and build each new LFS system using the previous one as host. The next time I build LFS, I'll have to clear the single LFS partition (sda6) and build the new system there with Slackware as build host.

I may have gone a bit overkill when choosing an SSD.
Yes, / includes /home.

I guess there is need, and want. Realistically I think I could do with only 1TB but I like having lots of disk space to not have to worry about trying to cram everything in a limited amount of space since disk space is so cheap now anyway.

With that said, I have 41.2TB total on my NAS and using 25.3TB. Lot of that is Linux ISOs, VMs, backed up data, archived data etc which makes the number bigger. Of course I also have cold backups but I don't count those.
