Poll: How much computer storage do you Really Use?

Morfinel · 10 Mar 2014 at 20:08

This days we have ridiculous amount of storage available. Up to 4TB hard drive and 1TB SSD but do you check how much you actually use? Or when you build/buy pc do you consider how much you will require or u just go for the biggest you can afford.
I was looking to buy new ssd to replace my 500GB and I was shocked to see I only use 71GB so I'm curies how much internal storage people have and how much of that they actually use .

Can Mod please add Poll

@ OP, The question is really "How much 4k Pr0n do you have"?

6.2TB over 3 HDD and 1 SSD

Using 2.4TB

39%

240GB SSD
Having to start to move games to my external drive temporarily until I can get a new SSD
Will probably then go for a 1TB drive for OS and games

I then also have 300GB worth of SD movies and about 100GB and counting worth of 1080p movies
Again, I am in need of more. A NAS is the next step

Currently stuck on a 500GB HDD, 39GB left.

Just about to change over from my 1TB SSHD to a 500GB boot/multiplayer games SSD with the 1TB for single player stuff. Been keeping quite tidy and deleting stuff after I've finished so only used approx 450GB

bledd · 11 Mar 2014 at 07:29

Voted 25%, because I keep 3 backups of my data.

60gb ssd windows
2tb split into 4 partitions...films,photos
750gb momentus 2.5"..steam,wow,other games (steam takes up 594gb)

Would like another 2/4tb for storage.

Are we counting storage drives, boot drives, a mix of all? Confused...

Picked 60-80% in poll because my main desktop's main (C) drive is about 3/4 full at the moment but not really sure that's the right one to look at?

Morfinel · 11 Mar 2014 at 12:18

All internal Inc boot and os

Gambisk · 11 Mar 2014 at 12:32

500GB primary drive with games, music and OS about 150GB left

Have a 320GB passport drive that I occasionally back up music to.

Raymond Lin · 11 Mar 2014 at 12:58

Probably have 30TB accessible on the network.

25 of that is split between 2 NAS, running redundancy, so 25TB is down to around 16TB.

3TB as Apple time Capsule
1TB inside iMac for OS
4TB external Thunderbolt running RAID 1 so effectively only 2TB.

Generally, when it hit around 70% to 80% mark I will expand.

Fire_fly · 11 Mar 2014 at 13:00

256GB SSD - 120 GB used
2TB data drive - 220 GB used

Not including external backup drive.

InfiniteNoise · 11 Mar 2014 at 13:34

750GB HHD in my SG05 (600GB used)
160GB HDD in my TJ08-E (30GB used)
3TB in my NAS (2x 3TB in RAID 1) (2TB used)
2TB WD My Passport (1TB used)

cwgk91 · 11 Mar 2014 at 14:54

Didnt even think about other pcs...

1TB on my iMac which 3/4 full, same in rMBP (music, films, work, etc)
2TB time capsule
2TB network storage for films etc not currently on phone/ipad

Ragnahex · 11 Mar 2014 at 17:06

About 13tb across 3 platforms.. 8tb full but the other 5tb only added in the past month I did hit 95% full

mrbios · 11 Mar 2014 at 17:11

Currently inside my PC:
120gb SSD - OS + Programs
256gb SSD - Steam + other games
500 GB HDD - everyone else

The HDD has 6GB free and the 256GB SSD has 17GB free.

Got 2 x 2TB drives in a HP ML110 server in RAID though, so I'm now sorted
