    I have a 256MB NVMe on the mobo for OS etc.. and a couple of 500GB SSDs for steam and general storage.

    All the spinning disks are in the server.

    Re: QOTW: How much storage is there inside your main PC?

    I have gotten rid of mechanical HDD's altogether from my pc although I do have a external drive for back-ups but it's only plugged in when needed. I have a SK Hynix SL301 250GB SSD for Windows and a few other programs and a Sandisk Ultra II 960GB SSD for my Steam games. I got them both when they were on offer early last year and paid less than £190 for both of them brand new. I guess the next time I do a platform upgrade it will include a M2 drive or whatever is out by then.

    1x 1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD
    1x 10TB WD Gold HDD

    Recently upgraded previous storage solution and got a great deal on the 10TB drive, which has a lovely 5-year warranty and is helium-filled.

    Very nice, those 10GB drives are pretty awesome - but, how do you back it up?

    1 512GB SSD
    2 Mobile Racks, and an array of disks in caddies to plug in, according to my current need.
    Most commen used disks in my racks are 2x 3TB wd red, where i have backup of OS, and backup of photos and other data.

    That said, for most part, the two racks arent powered on. Been happily using this type of setup in my past 3? PC's, so roughly 15+ years.

    Re: QOTW: How much storage is there inside your main PC?

    128gb SATA SSD as an OS/Apps drive
    256gb SATA SSD for GOG/Origin/other games
    512gb SATA SSD for Steam games

    All the spinning rust has been migrated to my server, there's about 3tb in there in 500gb drives. Bit the bullet to buy the 512gb SSD as the final HDD was annoying me by making the whole OS pause every time I started Windows Explorer or some sort of file dialog prompt.

    480Gb SSD + 2Tb for me. The SSD is for Windows and general applications, plus a couple of games, with the majority of my games on the 2Tb drive. I have barely any space left though

    Re: QOTW: How much storage is there inside your main PC?

    One 256GB SSD and 3 × 4TB HDDs in my main machine with three more SATA ports spare. There are 2 × 2TB HDDs in its older brother. There's also a 12TB external which I got as an external because, for reasons that I cannot fathom, it was cheaper than buying the bare drive. :-)
