As above how big is your SSD/mechanical drive you use for windows/linux.

I've got a 250gb ssd and always seem to have to ration space even if it's just a few of my favourite fps games i use to load from my os and a few apps.

I'm thinking of getting the 970 evo pro 512gb M.2 or a cheaper 1tb ssd m.2 or normal ssd but can't decide.
 
Most of my systems are a silly mess of a 250GB SSD OS drive and 2-3x additional 250GB SSDs I've added over time for games, etc. as I've run out of space plus a 1-3TB HDD for bulk storage.

I've not had to ration space too much on the OS drives but I really should have just bought bigger SSDs in the first place.

The annoying and slightly weird thing is every time I've gone to buy an SSD the pricing on the 500+GB ones has been spiking up while I've managed to get 25-30% discounts on 250GB models.
 
My OS with programs used to sit on a Samsung Evo 960 250gb nvme drive, I recently decided to buy a couple of Samsung evo 970's 500gb each, got them from somewhere else at an excellent price with a discount code, one was for OS and programs and the other was for games, however, I recently read that they are wasted on games, so ive RAID0'd them together, give me 1TB, way more than I need, turned my 4TB mechanical hard drive into the Games hard drive, way more than I need, and brought an 8TB external hard drive for all my back-ups, music, movies etc.
 
512gb M.2 at the minute. Just give plenty for the OS and i can have plenty of movies/videos/photos/software etc there without needing to transfer anything.

2x2TB SSD's for games however :cool:
 
256gb Samsung Pro 950 NVME i got 2 1/2 years ago on the MM for a very good price and still going strong. :)

Got my OS and most used apps on that and Steam on a 500gb SSD. I also have a 2tb HDD for everything else.
 
80gb os drive i think! I have had it for about 8yrs and back then ssd's were v expensive. 80 is enough for an os drive, and wouldn't be much use for anything else. It fits windows +office and documents very comfortably. Obviously things like photos are stored on other drives. Game saves ages also usually saved elsewhere via symbolic links. (game saves for things like total war, paradox games and football manager can end up taking up many gb's of space). I never find that I run out space.
I have 250 +500gb ssds used just for games. Another 1gb hd for games and a 1.5gb and a 500gb used for general storage.
 
256GB Intel M.2 drive and a 2TB mechanical. Will likely pick up a 500GB SSD at some point, I'm finding myself having to move games around or uninstall to play new stuff from the SSD.
 
OS is on a 500GB 960 Evo.
Data drive 1: 1TB 960 Evo.
Data drive 2: 1TB 2.5” Crucial MX300 SSD
Media drive: 4TB Ironwolf HDD
Backup drive: 8TB Ironwolf HDD

That’s not including my rack PC’s/Servers and NAS Systems.
 
I have a machine running linux on a 64GB SSD,another running windows on a 128GB SSD and my main machine has a 500GB SSD for the OS,all those have other spinning disks attached as well.
