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! 😆

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.
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.
About 40 TB
I have a couple of unused former daily driver devices which also have storage, but for the ones I currently use probably ~1 TB
About 60TB of media mostly for plex. Then a lot of personal photos. My music library is about 200GB of mostly FLAC.
Total combined storage if I don’t count offline backup drives is a bit more than 25TB, though I got another 8TB SSD today so that’ll be going up soon.
I would say about half of that storage is filled with a number of different archives, lots of video, music, and game stuff just lying around. I also do not like to delete anything ever if I can avoid it. Basically just a hoarder, but I prefer to call it archival lol. I actually do maintain a ~1.4TB or so archive of content for 20 years of stuff from a rhythm game called Stepmania.
In my phone I have 10GB for apps (tho it might be lees since i’m using a Pixel based ROM) 7GB for videos, 4GB for images and 9GB of “Homework”. In my PC i have a 1TB hard drive for custom ROMs and 240GB SSD for the system.
Homework, you say? Do you mind sharing it? Just wanna double check your work. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I have about 140TB of stuff and ever growing. I have a second server that I back everything up to off site, so if you count the duplicate data, it’s 280 TB.
About 30TB all up though 2x 10TB are mirrored backups of each other. I’m due some more soon.
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.
About 4TB, mostly pictures.
8tb worth of media with 3 replicas
My PC alone has about 8-10tb of unreplicated data
All in I have a raw capacity of about 160tb
That is a decent collection of pornography
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.
xD
I saved this image. Now I have your data.
Nooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo (storage limit reached)
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.
