I've already got 750gigs. Three drives, of varying sizes. Got about 80 gigs free. I save pretty much every video and picture and flash animation I like, encode and edit video, etc.
It's too much work to actually delete stuff. I have a download directory which is sorted by the type of application, but what do I need all those install programs for? Well, most I probably don't need, but what about that one that would be impossible to find, like the installed for that text adventure generator I used once to make an adventure about my freind in his apartment? I wouldn't want to delete that. And there's lots of other stuff like that too.
Also, I backup my stuff by coping it from one drive to another, so I just backed up all my BlitzMax stuff to my E drive, those backups take up about 2 gigs right now. Now that I have some free space again after installing that 250 gig drive over xmas, I guess I should back up some of the stuff I didn't have the space to backup before as well.
Ideally, I'd like to have 2x as much space so I could do one of those raid setups where you don't need to do backups because all the data gets mirrored. There's really no other way I could possibly make sure my whole system is backed up regularly. Luckilly for me I've never had a drive fail.
