With high-res media files, large local software, and offline video caches growing, 512GB fills up fast. What total capacity drive are you currently running in your primary Galaxy Book or desktop setup (1TB, 2TB, or higher), and are you feeling the storage crunch yet?

      mine has 1,5TB,, 512GB on C drive and 1TB on D drive

       

      i do have 4 seperate drive enclosure, my phone has 256GB internal with 512GB microSD

       

      no storage crunch since my personal data is safe inside my enclosure, my computer or phone only the most important files

       

      well ideally 2TB internal and 2TB external, but i am grateful with what i have

      That’s a solid setup! Do you mainly use the external drives for backups?

      Wow, that’s a lot of storage! You definitely have plenty of breathing room.

      I'm carrying 1tb on my set ultra. Used to do 1.5 when they still had SD card slots

      Do you find 1TB enough for your current usage?

      Yes, I have thousands of videos and photos and b still have 400gb left. I'm happy that I have the 1tb given that I would have filled up a 512 by now

      512GB can fill up pretty quickly with Windows, apps, games, and high-res media.

      For a Galaxy Book or desktop, 1TB seems like a good balance for most users. If you work with large media files or keep lots of files locally, 2TB or more would give much more breathing room.

      Exactly. For large media libraries, 2TB+ definitely gives you more breathing room.
