How much Storage do you have?

[dannywaugh1]

Hi all,

As in the title how much storage do you have in you systems?

What are your primary drives? HDD, SSD, NVME?

 

[Hawk Tuah]

2TB NVME as primary for everyday and games.
2TB SATA HD (backed up to cloud) as secondary long term storage.

 

[SimonRigga]

4TB nvme SSD PCIE-4
17TB of HDD

edit: found 2 more..

 

[pepp77]

1TB NVME for OS
2TB NVME for Games
2TB SSD for Games
5TB in a NAS

Way too much for media in two HP N54Ls

 

[jaybee]

Main PC I think has 1TB and 2TB NVMEs. Server has about 40TB of mechanical.

 

[Semple]

3TB of NVMe in main PC. 40TB sata hdd in NAS.

 

[Bubo]

I've just bit the bullet on 4x16TB disks for my NAS to replace 4x6TB, thought sod it just go for it and never have to phaff about again. Have enough adhoc spare disks to back all that up if as well.

 

[SpellowHouse]

For Games, 3TB on two NVME's , and for data and backups 18TB in the form of two HDD's. I also half half a TB in cloud storage but don't use it.

 

[Zeebedy]

1tb nvme boot drive and 4tb nvme games drive.

 

[Pulseammo]

1TB nvme boot drive (programs and some games that I play most).
500GB HDD (games). I want to get rid of this soon.

4TB + 1TB HDD on the NAS.

Boot drives are 3x nvme 1tb in raid 0
Have a 500gb nvme scratch drive which also acts as a nfs data store for snapshots etc (currently shows 13% health with 600+ TB written... Its almost dead clive!) and another nvme that is only for when I want a fast VM spin up.
Additional storage across this machine and the NAS is approx 60TB or so all on 3.5" spinners which is partly used for test VM estates for various corporate app testing as well as other dev type things (things like iManage, Sharepoint, SQL Server that sort of stuff).

I'm still rocking the 3000 series threadripper and it acts as my gaming rig as well as everything else, sometimes all at the same time.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

2TB NVMe, with quick internet and cloud storage I keep pretty minimal, just the active games I’m playing.

 

[nightwish]

2 TB NVME for Windows
2 TB NVME for games
4 TB SSD for docs and pron
6 TB HDD for hot backups of games, docs and pron (plus another for offline backup)
16TB HDD for music, films and TV (plus another for offline backup)

Probably need a NAS at some point, especially when the kids start wanting storage as well.
