Gamers, how much storage does your PC/console have? (lemm.ee)

My home desktop only has 500GB(!!) and before today it had a little more than 100GB left. I've been downloading BG3 last several hours and guess how much space is left😭

I'm not into gaming much and the only other large game that's installed is WoW, and those two games occupy ~300GB.

That made me realize, for those who enjoy gaming, it must require a lot of storage to play AAA games, etc. How much storage do y'all have on your PC/consoles?

*edit: it doesn't have to be for gaming only!

For my gaming PC:
OS Drive - 250GB - SATA SSD
Storage drive - 1TB - NVMe SSD

The OS drive was upgraded before I had a Motherboard with NVMe. It's hung around because it gets the job done.

I regularly rotate what games are installed. I'll usually only have 2-3 major games installed at a time. If space starts getting to be low again, I'll re-evaluate and remove stuff. It helps that I tend to focus on one game at a time.

NVMe storage alongside an OS drive? Are you able to run it that way without any bottlenecks?

I'm sure I have them somewhere. The system is performant enough that I haven't bothered to try and run them down.
