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!

I have:

a 1 TB system SSD (the fast M.2 Samsung SSD 970 EVO) where Windows and Fedora are installed
a 2 TB games SSD (the slow M.2 Intel SSD 660p)
a 120G games SSD (the very old, slow SATA Crucial M500) that only still exists because it would be a shame to throw out.

All the spinning rust has been banished to the NAS, Minecraft server, friend's sister's PC etc. The NAS now holds two 16 TB drives (SEAGATE Exos X16) in a raid 1, of that volume 5 TB are still free.
