    Self explanatory. I have a 750 gb HDD and it's filled with mostly TV shows and movies.

    I have heaps of hard drives, I doubt any of them are anywhere near being full though.

    On my desktop I've got an internal SSD which is 120GB and that is full, and a 2TB HDD which only has around 500GB full. I've also got a 2TB external archive drive I use which is also around 300GB full. I tend to delete any files I know I won't be using while archiving anything I think is worth it.

    Then I've got a portable 500GB drive which only ever gets around 100GB full which I take all my University and design work around in.

    My laptop never has anything filling it either (500GB SSD), I'm usually storing most work files on the hard drive and then copying them to the desktop before updating them etc. Right now it's only around 100GB full including programs and work files. But when I'm rendering and working onsite it will probably fill up quickly.

    And then I've got a 2TB dropbox subscription which has around 300GB of only design files and assets, and about 1GB full of my Google Drive :P.

    But yeah, a lot of stuff. I think there will probably be heaps more people with more then me.

  • I've only scratched the surface of my HDD, using up 44 of the ~700 GB available to me (and most of that is still default programs and apps that I haven't bothered to uninstall). The hard drive on my old computer was only 40 GB, so I conditioned myself for so long to delete every last thing that I wasn't using, and 4 months later I still haven't broken out of that habit. That's not a bad thing I guess, but I don't expect to be reaching 700 GB worth of files and programs on here any time soon.

  • I had to recently buy another external drive since both I had are almost full.

    • my laptop has 60gb, almost full before I bought my 2nd hard drive, mostly with family photos & videos, SimCity 4 downloads, music... currently I moved almost everything to my other Hard Drive, so it's only 12gb used for programs to keep laptop running and another 8gb for recent downloads or moving photos & videos from my cell phone/3DS XL before organizing on one of my external hard drives.

    • had another external HD 500gb, which got full after a while with more family photos/videos, tv show & movies, lots of Pokemon related stuff. Before buying my 2nd hard drive, it was 490gb full. Currently only 50gb is used for music. I deleted lots of files I didn't need, mostly some I had 2 or 3 copies of.

    • mid March, I bought another hard drive, a 2tb drive, moved majority of family photos/videos, most of my TV Shows and Movie collection on it, my entire Sim City 4, and lots of other junk stuff I have gotten along the years.

    Laptop: 60GB - used up: 20gb
    1st Hard Drive: 500GB - used up: 50gb
    2nd Hard Drive: 2TB - used up: 750gb

    Currently, my laptop's system drive is a 1 TB Laptop SSHD. There's 432 GB remaining in the drive. Most of it is taken up by my games library, followed by photos and videos. There are also several virtual machines and their virtual hard disk drives to take into account.

    I'm not ready to go without spinning disks, obviously. Not yet.

    I have about 400 GB in my laptop, but 312 are available for using. Don't have much things in here, aside from a few pictures and text files. For music, there's always Internet, so thank god. :] As for RAM, there's about 3 GB. In my desktop (which I don't bother turning on anymore because of its slowness), has 800 GB, but only 200 are actually free. In my iBook, there's about 200 GB.

  • I have about 510GB total and.. 380 of it is free. About 100gb of that taken space is allotted into my Windows 7 Professional partition though. I don't have many files at all - all the good stuff like anime episodes and movies are stored on an external hard drive. (° °)b
