On my general use (web browsing, programming, etc.) PCs it hovers about 250GB, my gaming PC has a bit more used - probably about 500GB but a lot of that is game installations. Then I have another 300GB on the NAS.

Used to have a bit more space used by movies, etc. but these days I tend to use netflix, itunes, etc. a lot for that and either stream/rent or delete when I'm done.
 
256GB SSD - OS and certain games/software - 76GB free.
2TB HHD - Everything else, but the majority used is from games - 1.3TB free.
320GB HDD - Backup drive for keeping stuff such as documents, game saves, bookmarks. In other words, the temp storage for when doing a fresh install - 257GB free.
 
Overall about 50% used of 9.5TB, but I've only recently added in(replaced) 5.5TB extra capacity, before it was close to 90% full.
This is expected to last a few years.

The 512GB (476GB formatted) SSD is at 83% capacity.
 
256 SSD with OS - 43% used
1TB SSD for steam - 70% full
2TB for everything else - about 60% full

As my movie/tv collection grows will need more and more though!
 
with how quick todays internet is, I don't bother to hoard anything, if I want something again I just download it.

64gig ssd 70% and most of this is windows 7.
320gig hdd 1/3 full.
 
My main pc has a 240GB SSD which is about 50% and a 4TB RAID5 array which has about 500GB left on it.

I have a 2TB QNAP which is full.
I have a backup server with about 20TB which is nearly full.
A VM server with about 1TB of VM space and another 16TB of data on it.
My main server has about 70TB on it.

You can never have too much storage :)
 
NAS BOX:
i have 4x 3TB 2x 2Tb (16TB total) of storage for things and they will all be full by the end of the year and will need to ether get more drives or delete something :( Film Rips/Tv/Music/Gopro vids/standard still cam/program and game exe files storage...

250gb ssd for windows prob has 200gb left as i am super careful about space on that

I currently have:

SSD : 60.2 GB Free of 111GB
Movie Drive : 1.22 TB Free of 2.72 TB
2 TB : 999 GB free of 1.81 TB

But I have only really just started ripping my blue ray collection. I have ripped around 1/2 of my DVD's, including stand ups and TV shows, and they are on the Movie drive. I may need to expand soon though, as I fear that my 200+ BR titles will soon fill up the movie drive.

I generally work on around 75% space utilization. But I don't use RAID or any sort of back-up system, I know I should, but it seams to take up too much space.
