But for downloaded movies, i usually delete after i watch them. Except the epic ones, of course. So drive doesn't get full.@demiko -
Snob20867yThe true problems in my opinion are that:
1. Many countries have extremely limited mobile data capacities or extremely slow internet speeds.

Well there are some videogames that are pretty massive like Elite Dangerous or The Witcher. Then there's my awful compulsion to install a ton of software I'll use some day. Throw in some dual boot. Aaaand you got my tb drive and 500 gb drive full.

Ever since streaming became the primary mode of accessing movies and music, hard disk space more than 500GB became unnecessary for most people.
