What pc storage do you'll have?

These are the main drives installed in my pc at the moment.

1x WD SN850 2TB nvme (my OS, games, music, photos)
1x Samsung 860 Evo 2TB SATA (mainly games but lots of various stuff on it)
2x Toshiba N300 10TB 7200rpm drives (only used for movie storage for plex usage)

Really need to remove those 10TB drives though and have them external somewhere else as they are really loud.
 
128gb Samsung 850 pro - o/s
1tb Seagate firecuda - general storage
2tb firecuda - music, games & images from photography hobby
64gb ssd (can't remember the name) bought for laptop, but Dell laptops use 1.8inch SSDs - i use it for a single o/s drive backup because the recovery time is quite nippy
 
1 Tb PCI-E 4 NVMe SSD as primary
12 Tb mechanical as bulk storage - with 3.6 Tb free at the moment.

I'd like to go solid state only for performance (and silence!) but that much capacity in SSD would cost a fortune. Also high capacity SSDs tend to be QLC flash, which once you exhaust the SLC cache would perform even slower than my current mechanical hard drive. It's not something that would happen every day, but it would certainly happen when copying an existing 7 Tb+ of data across.
 
256GB Samsung 960 Pro M.2 NVME SSD
1TB Crucial MX500 M.2 SATA SSD
1TB Samsung 860 QVO 2.5" SSD
2TB Crucial MX500 2.5" SSD
2TB WD Black 7200RPM HDD
3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM HDD

DId have two Samsung 850 EVOs of 500GB each but they went as the primary drives into my daughters PC and my wife's laptop and replaced it with the QVO.
 
1x2 tb sabrent rocket (m2 nvme)
1x256GB Samsung 830 2.5" SSD
1x256GB Crucial M4 2.5" SSD
1x1TB WD Black HDD

Had a 3TB seagate barracuda but that has stopped working suddenly. Been meaning to replace that with maybe a 2TB HDD.
 
PC1: 256GB NVMe system drive, 2TB SSD Games drive, 500GB SSD Work and data drive.
PC2: 256GB NVMe system drive, 1TB SSD Media drive, 4TB HDD Media drive.
PC3: 256GB NVMe system drive, 500GB SSD Media drive, 6TB HDD Media drive.
All backed up on a 8TB HDD soon to be expanded!!
 
250GB SSD

86TB HDD over 7 drives.

Plus another 60 to 80TB in external backups.

My desktop
1x 256GB SM961 NVME - OS + Steam partition
2x 1TB SN750 NVME - Games & Caches
1x 512GB 850 Pro SATA - Games
1x 240GB M500 SATA - Progs partition & Games partition
1x 4TB WD Se - Docs partition, Storage partition & Games partition
1x 6TB WD Ultrastar - Photos/Videos/Storage

NAS - Nowhere near as impressive capacity wise compared to Kona's above as my RAID controller is very old and limited to 2TB disks.
1x 128GB Samsung SATA ssd (old HP OEM) - OS/Swap
1x 8TB WD Ultrastar - Mirror disk for plex library
9x 2TB WD Se/Ultrastar - 14TB Raid 5 array with hot spare used for plex and one of the backups from the main desktops
 
Main PC has a 25GB SSD for OS, and 500GB for games. Then we have 2 laptops, one with a 1GB SSD and the other with a 500GB SSD.

I also just built a NAS out of an old laptop and 2 identical 1TB USB 3.0 drives in RAID 1. No, it's not ideal.....but it didn't cost me anything as I had all the parts sitting around! Then I have an old laptop disk with everything on that is kept at the in-law's house just in case. Oh, and everything is also in the cloud.
