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! 😆

50 TB on a network attached storage appliance across 8 drives, probably 200-400 GB across two laptop internal drives, and 500 GB or so of games on a Framework expansion card.
I may have a problem. Something something r/datahoarder something something.
I crossed the 110TB line not too long ago. Don’t worry, if all of your primary data is still in one enclosure you’re still fine.
If you find yourself building out racks then it’s time for an intervention. That’s what my friends did with me and they failed
I’ve found the solution to this problem is to not have friends.
Aren’t several selfhosted chatbots friends?
How is everyone here indexing and cataloguing 10s of TBs of data???
I have like <8 TB combined probably if you count everything I have on my PC/laptop/cloud storage and I often can’t find shit and a bunch of those are full disk compressed backups that I can’t even search directly without opening it in a specialized program.

I record music at home and sometimes also shoot videos for it sometimes. You’d be surprised how much storage you’d fill even just in your first year.
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.
Realistically, none of these setups will be used for much more than a good feeling. You can’t watch that much media.
Given that a movie can be between 1GB and 50GB depending on source and compression used, you can’t know that. You can find game of thrones downloads that are 30GB per episode. At 1080. If you go for high quality with a nzb setup, it fills up really fast.
Also my setup is used by multiple people and that’s probably fairly common. So maybe “I” can’t watch that much, but “we” can.
And who does that? I mean, that’s just a huge cost for what? Slightly sharper nipples on screen?
How often do you think, you’ll watch, say GoT? Twice? Why bother building half a data center in your house for the off chance that you might, at some point, maybe want to consider to watch that one movie again?
It’s a hobby, I get that. But arguing that it’s useful is like saying you’re restoring that 50s car in your garage for driving to work or grocery shopping. We all know, that’s not the reason.
Some people just want lossless media.
And saying it’s a huge cost… 60TB in a raid 5 setup will cost you less than $2k. That’s really not much for most US households. Especially when that setup lasts for years.
Nice try memory card sales person.
