      Oh... geez 2 to 3 terrabytes would be a fast guess. I have 1 TB in one box alone.

        About 3 floppy disks worth? I mean, how much more should an OS take up?

          depends how you count. I have 5x160GB drives in a raid3 config for 640gb usable space. I also have one each 250gb, 60gb, 10gb, 3.7gb, and .5gb drives, all but the last two are in use, the 3.7 will be if/wehen I ever get linux installed on the frankenbox it's part of. A total of 962 decimal GB or about 900 binary. I intend to get a 2nd external HD to maintain an offsite backup of personal files, whenever I get around to that I'll be a member of the TB club.

                    Definately me... My main desktop has a total of 190gb, and my notebook has a 100gb HDD. If you want to count the OLDIES... I guess I could add another 30gb that's not in use.;P

                        HDD Capacity, or HDD storage space? I think I have a bin or two kicking around of old <1gb drives. ;p

                          1TB + 240MB + 20MB + 20MB + 160MB = more than enough

                            ME ME ME! If I added every single byte of HD space I own it would probably amount to 500 gigs.

                                which leaves you with 970Gb of free space to reach the TB. Plus your whole life is not sufficient for listening to >30Gb ... so what is the point again ?

                                  start archiving tv episodes, or ripping your dvds so you don't need to hunt for the actual disks to watch them. You'll fill gobs of space really fast.

                                      2.27TB here spaced out across three PCs I use most. 2.8TB if I add 4th computer, laptop and external storage Doesn't mean I use it all, but when buying new HDDs it makes sense to buy larger drives as they are cheaper per GB and because they have better performance.

                                        which leaves you with 970Gb of free space to reach the TB. Plus your whole life is not sufficient for listening to >30Gb ... so what is the point again ?

                                        Try using the computer to record some TV shows or have any movies on there, it adds up quick!

                                          About 3 floppy disks worth? I mean, how much more should an OS take up?

                                          I totally agree! Any more than that is bloated!
