How many Terabytes do you guys have on your computer?

[master_shake_]

66tb in 2 file servers before redundancy.

Okay I don't understand some of these response. Right now I only have a few games on my hard drive (500gb) and I only have 10 gb of free space left. This is only a FEW games so I don't know how you guys are able to manage with all of your games?

If you want I can list all the games I have installed right now and you will see why 500 GB is far too little.

Sounds like you need to diagnose why your HDD is so full. Look for temp files, volume shadow copies, restore points, hibernate file, etc.

And your HDD is 500GB? Why, exactly, were you talking about "more than 18TB" in your original post? I'm not quite following.

Other than that, that doesn't seem like too many games. Try downloading WinDirStat, it'll give you a nice visual map of what's using up the space on your drive.

29 TB in my server. About 6 TB in the rest of my machines combined.

Holy moly that is a TON Of games! I have I think four installed and I'm thinking that's too many for my machine lol. Seriously, if you haven't played it in a week, uninstall it. You can always download it again later.

Computer I just have a SSD for OS and programs. Server, I have 19TB between 3 raid arrays. I tend to expand the arrays as I need the space.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
                       53G  180M   50G   1% /home
/dev/md0              5.4T  4.5T  705G  87% /volumes/raid1    (raid 10)
/dev/md1              6.3T  4.2T  1.8T  71% /volumes/raid2    (raid 5)
/dev/md3              7.2T  939G  5.9T  14% /volumes/raid3   (raid 10)

Hard drives are getting cheap again though, so I'm tempted to add more drives, but really, I don't NEED more space yet so going to hold off. raid1 is pushing it though, that's a raid 10 with 4 3TB drives, so I will probably add 2 more 3TB drives soon which will give me about 2.7TB of actual space.

 

[Smoblikat]

About 15TB total.

 

[XiandreX]

500Gb Crucial MX100
500GB WD Blue
3TB WD Red
1TB Transcend external USB 3

Down to around 650Gb left between the drives.

learn to avoid data hoarding and your life will be better.

I'm so glad I have you to get life advice from. I never realized my awesome server rack was degrading my life.

 

[BirdDad]

12TBs 3 WD 4 TB blacks and a Plextor 256GB M.2 SSD.

 

[Lorne]

3TB in puter.
Does the 25 TB of mixed individual 1-2TB drives stacked next to it count?
I need to get a dock, Having and using single sata cable hanging out the front of the case is kinda hokey.

 

[IronWing]

0.5TB SSD boot disk
2TB HDD
1TB HDD
plus 1TB x 2 RAID backup (normally disconnected from system)
plus 1TB backup (normally disconnected from system)
plus 1TB rugged portable HDD

The big pigs are music and pics. I've really got more space than I need but having the redundancy is nice.

 

[B-Riz]

Am addicted to Steam games:

Soon to be 4 x 3 TB Seagate's in RAID 0, ~70% assigned usable area (short stroking the array)

[therealnickdanger]

~2TB per computer (single drive or SSD+2TB) for games and limited media
~40TB media/file/backup server

 

[ViviTheMage]

computer - 1TB SSD
NAS - 20TB raid10
OFFSITE BACKUP - 20TB raid10

My NAS is just storage for PC's at home, and it syncs down with crashplan. Let's my siblings use it for some offsite storage too.

That is a lot of game

Downloading cause bandwidth unfortunately.

 

[bbhaag]

I'm on the low end at 5tb for storage and 240gig for OS. Some of you guys have crazy amounts of storage. What do you use it for?

 

[Slug]

My server storage is for movies, software, personal data, pc backups, etc. Everything backs up to Crashplan. Not currently using anywhere near the full 29TB, even with duplication.

 

[stockwiz]

I have about 4 full TB worth of content, backed up at my mother's house off-site. It's all MD5 hashed and gets checked yearly. So far no bit rot or anything like that.

 

[ronbo613]

HD video, digital photos and scanned slides/negatives. I am a big believer in multiple backups so I need about four or five times the hard drive space of the actual data. It adds up fast.

 

[Charmonium]

My server storage is for movies, software, personal data, pc backups, etc.

Same here. Most of it is video but also a lot of scanned docs and backups. I'm kind of a pack rat so I digitize whatever I can and get rid of the physical material.

 

[buklau]

60gb ssd for OS and programs, 2tb hard drive for games and movies. Both drive is about 26-30% full.
