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.
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.
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?
I have the normal human amount
spoiler
about 35 TB
Probably like 3 TB. I archive stuff sometimes to protect against service disruptions of all severity, but I don’t game much or have an extensive movie collection.
Eh, only around 60TB or so of media. Definitely not as much as some people over on DataHoarders, but plenty more than then vast majority of people.
About 3-4TB, most of it on a RAID storage array. Though I’m making a lot of YouTube videos now and I don’t want to delete any of the footage so it’s growing quickly.
Phone only
40 Gb of apps
160 gb of music. Would be a lot higher if my music didn’t have 128kbps as quality
2.2 Gb of images
4.5 GB of videosI’ve got close to 80TB between 3 locations.
Damn, about 3 TB
I have a NAS with about 40TB of available space and I keep putting stuff on it.
Most of that is 3D models and pictures.
I just ordered an additional 12TB drive for my NAS because the 12TB of usable space I currently have on it is nearly full. Plus all of that data has multiple backups - I consider 3-2-1 to be a minimal backup strategy.
OP, you may want to venture over to !datahoarder@lemmy.ml
Honestly, a few megs for telephone numbers and calendar entries would be enough.
I do have music, movies, games and chat backups, but realistically if they vanished tomorrow I wouldn’t mind too much.
Probably 2TB, maybe 500gb of which i actually bothered to set up additional backups for (personal photos, docs, projects, and videos)
I have about 3-4 TB (maybe 5 if some old drives still work)
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.
