Get a NAS, you should be using one any way, It makes switching computers extremely easy, you don't have to bother transferring hundreds of TB just install the apps you use and your good to go.
Got space for a PCIe 8x card? Get a lsi2308 and a set of SAS to SATA cables. 8 drives off that bad boy, and actually reliable unlike every single PCI or PCIe SATA card I've ever tried.
Well thank you! I have various parts & peices, that I think is sufficient to set things up. I should say, I'm not in the Linux environment. And from what I've read it looks so much easier than it would have been in the 90s when I started using computers in earnest.
That's how I got a free netbook. It had 32GB and could not be expanded. 27GB on it was wasted on windows and office. And then it needed to download an 8GB update.
Owner had to buy a new one, I got the old one for free. It now has 26GB free, with Linux, libreoffice, and developer tools already installed.
I was once wondering where 80gb of my storage went when I was reinstalling a game, and I eventually found out it was because I forgot to delete the .rar archive after I extracted it.
Small stuff (arguably) like that always fills my disks until it becomes a problem.
I haven't measure precisely, performance is not a major concern to me. But I remember seeing local write speed around 350MB/s (reading from SSD writing to HDD RAID array).

This bad boy can fit so many ... fuck ... crash ... shit
Try being a graphic designer or video editor. I've stopped running out of disk space and started running out of SATA slots on the mobo.

I did try both and I do, in fact have the same problem xd
I have just bought 8TB drive, but thus time I am using it ONLY to backup and store stale data, so far 1TB cleanes from my main SSDs. Wish me luck.
I just pulled up NewEgg, and saw a 24TB for $319. I need to level up!
Whoa-Dang! I foresee a business expense in my office's near future. FWIW, I've been pondering setting up a server, for various projects.
Thanks for the encouragement.

My wife got me 8 TB about 3 or 4 years ago. It's awesome. My Blu Ray library is on it and I still have 5 TB free
Are these Skyrim furry mods?
I don't know what emotion this is trying to convey but I appreciate it nonetheless
Unused storage is wasted storage
Imagine paying for storage and not use all of it.
The GIMP watermark makes this even funnier
I bet they didn't register their copy. Probably torrented it, too.
Piracy is killing the FOSS industry!

I am still trying to figure out what is going since Win 7, and it takes so much space (I don't know about Vista)

That's why I use tools like
dustor TreeSizeView to see where storage is being used. Far easier to find the culprits.Have you thought about uploading your mind and not your body?
What are you doing with all those Linux ISOs?
Seeding
I got 37 TB in my system, you?
NAS is at 48TB raw, 24TB effective.
Nice. You buy all of your drives new or used?
These 4 I bought used, with around 4years of uptime. 1 was defective and I replaced it with another used one that works fine.
4x12 in RAID10, or what's your setup?
Yes, that's right BTRFS RAID10
Nice, what kind of R/W speeds do you get? I opted for 3x16 in RAID5 (ZFS)

16tb currently. Don't want to expand until getting enough backup drives.
Me who still has a 512gb ssd that is always atleast 150gb free.
This def feels like a shirt that goes hard. I'd wear the hell outta this lol.
Between steam games and music vst, I'm getting stacked brother.
Only ever use 25% of my already small nvme lol, I am at the other end of the bell curve I guess
What do you store? I had a 1tb drive for 2 years and it only got 100GB full
Maybe he installed two games
Well yeah so do I but to my SSD. What do people usually store in their HDD? Photos?
As many 64kbps MP3s of All Star by Smash Mouth as it will hold. I have no need to store anything else.
