Storage per GB, eh?
I currently use 675GB out of 1.25TB. (not counting backups, of course.) When I go over about 800GB total I tend to go through and delete unused data/programs. That's not to say I need all that storage on my desktop, I'd rather have it in a NAS with a hot spare, but that's a bit out of my budget.
My next PC will almost certainly use an SSD for OS and swap partitions, with a 1-2 TB HDD for bulk data. My laptop and phone can copy data to/from the desktop as needed.
Checking to see what all that space is:
200 GB Programs. Games and my tendency to lose original install media tend to be the big offenders. Steam helps.
70GB TV shows and movies not (yet) available on Netflix. Pretty much all stuff I've watched but know I will rewatch later, or want to show to someone else.
34GB Music
32GB Books, mostly zipped. Many have duplicates in various formats, due to old device restrictions. Could probably cut collection size in half by cleaning that.
5GB Documents
4GB Pictures.
