Over 90 GB free on system disk and 6 TB on four MS Storage Space drives (internal and mirrored), plus 1 TB on OneDrive
Posted by Zhibonbon - Fri 21 May 2021 17:01
Around 80 GB on primary 256 GB nvme drive and more than half of 512 GB from the other sata drives

I've got 1200 GB (binary) free of 6 TB total (decimal), on my main desktop which stores everything - Blu-Ray backups, mp3s, pictures, Steam games, etc. I installed a bunch more games and backed up a bunch more films after adding a 3 TB drive a couple years ago.

Among the drives, my 1 TB SSD is 14% free, and my two non-backup hard drives are both 28% free.

The SSD space has felt a bit tight at times, and I've migrated some of its contents to HDD. But the HDD space available still feels like plenty.

Boot drive 19% free.
Games drive 62% free.
Media drive 45% free.
Rapid Access Drive 100% free, but it's only just gone in.
Drive 5 86% free, as it's also new and only used to help eliminate the terrible lag on Star Citizen.
Drive 6 99% free, but again new and its a whole 8TB, so got a ways to go yet.

My biggest worry is the Boot drive, and I'm working on clearing out as much of the junk as I can.
I might have to bite the bullet, Clean Install the OS, and then suffer through doing all the tweaks and setups to get things working just right.


I hate reinstalling Windows. :censored::wallbash:

1.5TB I feel upgrade time is drawing near!

Removable hdd dock here, so with the 20 or so drives I have I would say 10tb free atm?

C: 575 GB free of 1.81Tb
D: 57.4GB free of 931 GB
E: 1.31 TB free of 9.09TB
F: 497GB free of 3/63 TB
O: 81.7GB free of 9.09 TB
P: 2.81 TB free of 9.09 TB
Q: 8.95 TB free of 9.09 TB
R: 3.64 TB free of 9.09 TB
S: 6.05 TB free of 9.09 TB
Y: 238 GB free of 7.21 TB
Z: 11.6 TB free of 55.8 TB

Dangerously low, approx 35TB free including the NAS. And that conerns me.

Got some empty 12TB WD 12TB drives.. somewhere.. and a few drives and servers full (of either cr@p or backups) and not connected.

Inside my PC case:
25.4TB total, 3.7TB free

Direct attached storage (not counting spare HDDs for the USB dock):
5.0TB total, 1.1TB free

NAS storage:
81.1TB total, 5.5TB free

Overall, thats ~111TB or which 10.4TB is currently free, but I expect to free up another 20TB or so as soon as my sweep for duplicates and stuff I no longer need is completed.

My laptop is a much more healthy 2.5TB free across its three 1TB SSDs

I have 2321GB free across 3 seperate Solid State Drives in my new PC. None has less than 700GB free out of about 931GB on each. I intend to not over fill them like I used to do, as I don't want to wear them out! So I'll be deleting more things as I go along to keep them fresh and speedy.

687GB free on my boot NVMe (out of 837GB useable)
398GB free on my games NVMe (out of 1.63TB useable)
26.5GB +189GB free on my Backup / Recovery NMVe (out of 231.9GB useable).

I reserve ~10% for over provisioning on my drives.

This much
Posted by jnutt - Fri 21 May 2021 20:20
Free space as follows. 410gb on boot M.2, 950 gb on local HDD, 5TB on local NAS, Just less than 1TB on One Drive.
Posted by AndyM2012 - Fri 21 May 2021 23:47
Over 20%.

My OS NVMe SSD has been set to a little bit more over-provisioning than the default in the hope of greater useful life, but that doesn't show up in the reported space of the drive.

Sometimes I do things like prune old versions of downloads when I'm sure this and the last version work OK. Then I can feel inspired to do a bit more tidying up of old downloads, so several tens of GBs can be cleared then.

Drive A. 221GB Free from 500GB
Drive C. 77GB Free from 250GB
Drive D. 181GB Free from 680GB*


* the reason for the odd number is that both C & D are partitions of a 1TB NVMe SSD
Posted by Gentle Viking - Sat 22 May 2021 06:04
About 3.5 TB

330 GB of those are on the C: NVME drive with the OS, and 200 GB on a SSD, the rest is on a single spinning disk.

As the question is about the PC, i will not mention the XX TB on the NAS
Posted by g8ina - Sat 22 May 2021 07:10
On main PC :
171GB system, 971GB Data

On NAS :
142GB Disc 1
4400GB disc 2

I just upgraded from a 256GB Samsung XP941 M.2 to a 1TB WD Black SN750, so I have plenty of space on my boot drive now. I was really running out of space previously. I also have plenty of space on a pair of WD Red 1TB drives in RAID 1 for my data. They are backed up to a 20TB RAID 6 NAS so I'm not really concerned about space at the moment.
Posted by Glyce - Sat 22 May 2021 10:39
Both my NAS and gaming computers where close to full.
Chia came, so I jumped and got 2x 14TB Red Plus and 2x 2TB 980 Pro.


Now I don't care anymore if Chia fkucs up the storage market.

About 5 years of it so far…

5 x NVMe drives with a total of 9TB. Of which approximately 4TB is free. 3 connected direct to TRX4 motherboard, other two using PCIe expansion cards.
I move around a lot with work. Next time I get sent to somewhere with spotty internet I will be downloading my entire steam library and taking it with me.

I keep running out of space and have to keep constantly trying to find more space! I play games, so keep finding it hard to find space to install a new game on my 1TB drive… feel I need an upgrade.
Posted by philehidiot - Sun 23 May 2021 11:16
Drive A (boot): 35KB/1.44MB
Drive C (storage): 8MB/20MB
Drive D (tape backup): Nil/50MB
Drive E (SCSI Zip drive): Who knows, it just keeps clicking.

Recently had a thump to the head. Anyone know how to get QEMM working on Windows 10?
Posted by thonidy - Sun 23 May 2021 12:53
1370 gb :)
Posted by maxopus - Sun 23 May 2021 17:34
About 80TB left of local storage and another 200TB on the LAN. I'll run out in a bit over a week.
Posted by deepblue08 - Sun 23 May 2021 18:36
1TB SSD has 660GB free. Also, have 1TB OneDrive, 900GB free.
Posted by Pezer - Sun 23 May 2021 22:18
Just under 2tb, I recently upgraded my m.2 and ssd but I've yet to start filling them up!
Posted by 3dcandy - Mon 24 May 2021 09:06
It's abit weird I'm in the middle of a data migration so got 200 gig on boot drive, 45 on hdd1 and 91 on hdd2 in “work” pc.
6tb free on truenas storage and the rest is around 200 g on other systems except pi NEMS system which has 3 gig left but runs from a 16gig sd card
Posted by GordonGout - Mon 24 May 2021 10:02
Simple answer is never enough haha.
Got 1TB left off a 12TB raid and no more sata headers
Posted by Millennium - Mon 24 May 2021 10:21
I have about 9 TB free across all my drives. Ended up with a lot of 2TB drives when they were fairly new and they all still work. Also bought a couple of cheap large externals which I'm mainly using now as they are likely to be more reliable.

With bandwidth increases and changes in how the internet works storage has become much less important, especially slow storage, on the clients.
