Data as in information (photos, contacts, messages, etc…), not your mobile internet allowance.

I personally just have photos and a few phone numbers that I can remember, probably around 10-15 GB including a few 4K videos. I have like maybe 20 GB of apps but they are re-downloadable so it doesn’t really count for me. As for PC, I rarely use computers these days, too tired and I’d rather lie down and stare at my phone instead, so I’m not even gonna count my PC data. How much data do you have and whats your total combined storage of all your drives?

Edit: Damn, some people got so much stuff! I personally am relying on faith that the internet and civilization doesn’t collapse so I download stuff whenever I want to watch them and delete them when I’m done with them. Y’all got doomsday bunkers planned out! 😆

    Total drive space is probably something like 40 to 50 TB.

    Around three quarters of that is in use, mostly my Plex libraries: film, TV, music, spoken word.

      Damn, y’all have so much stuff. I kinda put my faith in the internet and hoped that civilization doesn’t collapse and torrent stuff whenever I want to watch them.

        I don’t really keep any porn saved since everything is just accessible online.

        Mostly keep movies, tv, and anime but have started to also keep some ebooks and music as of lately.

        I’m also a data hoarder so I just keep most stuff forever unless it’s a torrent or installer

          I really try to go through my stuff and delete things I no longer need - more usually documents rather than media… I always worry I might remove something I realise I need later! So you are probably more sensible!

            I also have like 200-300gb of Linux and Windows ISOs for archival reasons. There have been several times where I’ve had to load an older OS that had proper Ethernet drivers and upgrade.

              It’s super dedicated, when something isn’t working people like you are why we have the things we need archived!

              I have a huge collection of TTRPG material, and mirrored back ups of media but nothing that exciting.

    That’s how I started out too. You pick a few things here and there, next thing you know a few years later you build a server capable of storing half a petabyte of data. The important thing is to know when it starts becoming a problem. I am at 216 tb now, but I should be good for years to come.

    On my desktop PC I have 2tb of SSD and 16tb of hard disk. I use the ssds for games and OS, while the hdds get used for movies, tv shows, music, etc.

    I am actively seeding 4.5tb of data on private trackers.

    I have ~4TB of data, a mix of media, backups of various phones, computers, etc, and pictures and video. Pictures take up more space than you might think for a modern MILC - If you do RAW + JPEG, that’s ~65MB per image. Plus copies that are edited / cropped and exported to jpeg. Video is even worse. I use a 128GB card in my camera, and that’s on the smaller side if you were going to do video.

    I lost about 4TB when my RAID died without backups, but that was mainly media that isn’t that important. Some pictures and such. The problem is it’s easy to do large RAID devices, it’s hard to back them up. My upload is only 10Mbit so initial upload to a cloud service of 4TB I think took 3 months or so, because the backup software would hang, and just upload times. I don’t think it’s actually realistic for me if my actual data grows much more. I might have to go back to standalone spinning disk drives to be backups for cost effective and fast enough.

    My current NAS has 22TB usable, and when I cross 5TB I’m not entirely sure if it’ll work to the cloud anymore.

    About 32TB used out of 40TB usable on my NAS and a couple of TB spread across devices.

    Mostly media and storage for my selfhosted services.
