My home desktop only has 500GB(!!) and before today it had a little more than 100GB left. I’ve been downloading BG3 last several hours and guess how much space is left😭

I’m not into gaming much and the only other large game that’s installed is WoW, and those two games occupy ~300GB.

That made me realize, for those who enjoy gaming, it must require a lot of storage to play AAA games, etc. How much storage do y’all have on your PC/consoles?

*edit: it doesn’t have to be for gaming only!

        I have a full rack in a data center.

        Everything I do is self hosted lol.

        My total raw storage is somewhere in the range of 170tb

          How do you have a rack in a data center? That’s not something you can just rent normally, right?

      Those are rooky numbers. /s

      45TB used out of 77TB total on my NAS.

      Granted, I only need to back up about 5 TB of that, so that does make my life easier. At this point, I’ll have to start building custom drive chassis if I want to keep expanding. There is always more to save…

      Edit: LOL, saw your other post below where you say your full storage capabilities are in the 170TB+ range. I respect the power of your thuum!

        Yep, I have quite a bit of storage lol

        The primary NAS has 7x 6tb SAS HDDs

        Backup has 4x 8tb shucked SATA HDDs

        And the DC hosted one has 5x 12tb SATA Water panther drives. They were relabeled Seagate RMA drives.
