I currently have 17 GB free space on my root drive, out of 0.47 TB usable space, that’s 3% free space. I also have an additional harddrive installed, 12 TB, it has 140 GB free, which may seem a lot but it’s actually only about 1%. Your harddrive is probably pretty full too. Maybe not as crammed, but odds are it’s probably closer to full than empty. I ran a poll on mastodon and approximately half of the respondents, counting 81 people in total, had a harddrive that was more than 75% full.

    Empty hard drive space is wasted hard drive space.

    That said, lol, I’m at both ends of the spectrum here.

    My laptop is doing the best it can with 14GB total storage. About 6GB still free.

    My workstation has 9x 2TB SSDs in a ZFS array with double redundancy, for a total of 14TB usable space plus a 3x 10TB ZFS array with single redundancy for a total of 20TB, used for daily backups. And, overall, I’m using less than half of that so far.

    Nah, I’m good. I still have 100TB free on the NAS and no more than 30% storage used on any client device.
