Just looking at some more storage and wondered what everyone had?

currently on:
 500gb Nvme for the OS and general rubbish
500gb sata for my gamepass Xbox games
1tb sata for steam/epic/etc.

and 6TB of spinning rust for everything else

looking at getting 2 lots of 2tb sata for the games, 5.5tb should be plenty for now, though I have space for a second Nvme drive on my motherboard as well, so another 1tb for that might be an option too

1tb nvme for windows & stuff,
1tb ssd for games,
2tb sata for docs/pics/films etc,
3 tb sata for more games.

How on earth do you need 12TB of storage!  

I have 500gb of nvme ssd for my OS and most played games, 2tb of sata ssd for all other games and my music, and a 4tb drive that holds about 2tb of photos so far...

...And I thought that was excessive!

To be honest the hdd is a relic and stuff is slowly getting moved to ssd storage - mostly photos of the kids when they were little, etc

(coughs) hides head in shame.

I TB nvme - Windows and games
1 TB SSD - Linux (dual boot)
4 TB - Internal SATA Drive - Photos
4 TB - Internal SATA Drive - Photos Mirror
4 x 4TB  External SATA Drives - photos archive
4 x 4 TB External SATA Drives - photos archive mirror (off site)

5.9 TB Google Archive Storage

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

1TB OS drive NVME, 2 TB gaming drive SSD, 2TB media SSD drive for music production and Visions of Chaos (no not our Chaoe, the AI generation tool).  4TB NAS to cover off essential files which is conencted to my WAN router.

On this subject and assuming most games we play are either Steam, GoG, Xbox Gaming or Epic, do folk have that many games installed at any one time. Even bacxk in the day most of my games were on DVD's not installed on my PC. Not wanting to hijack the thread but for example I have three games sat on my HDD that I'm actively playing. So gaming space isn't really that much of a requirement for me.
Do peeps generally have more games installed?

Like Smilo, I tend to only have the games installed I'm actively playing.
