I've got three problems with the LaCie TB's
- overpriced
- Raid 0
- it's a LaCie
External TB's will most likely come at a premium until some one like OWC starts selling enclosures.
Got a tip for us?

~90ish gigs on my 256. Main problem is I don't delete my lossless files before Time Machine backs it up. So I should have about 100gb or so once I back up.
Also losing about 10gb to system restore / ghost files / whatever Windows does with my free space

I've got the 120GB SSD and have 30 GB for my Windows 7 partition. I don't need much space here because I only have a few programs for school on it right now. So that leaves about 60 GB free on OS X. I have all my iTunes and iPhoto libraries on an external drive that I carry with me.
128 version - 37 gig used (incl 13 gig for an XP virtual disk image and best part of 4 gig for a lion install dmg) leaving 83 gig free.
Got everything on it that I use on a day to day basis, other than Eagle and its libraries that I've still to move over, so Id expect 80 gig free by the end of it.

88GB between my Mac and Boot Camp partitions. It would be a lot higher, but I have about 30GB devoted to two additional virtual machines. I have Snow Leopard Server and Windows 8 Developer Preview installed as VMs in Parallels 7. I don't really need 4 OSes on my setup (I do about 97% of my tasks in Lion), but use Quicken for Windows, and decided since I have the room to try out Windows 8. Snow Leopard Server's another minor experiment, though I might use it to resurrect an old scanner and see if there is any other PowerPC software around with some data that I need to convert.

200GB left, but it's a new machine....I'm pretty tidy coming from a generation when 20mb ( yes MB) was normal on old x86 machines, Ive learned to manage space efficiently.
Projects for further work are transferred to my iMac after copying, and then to NAS storage for archiving purposes.

Over 100GB left on my 128GB. I'm glad I didn't spend extra for the 256GB model. 2000 songs (which I don't have anywhere near) takes up less than 20GB so I don't know what I'm gonna use all that space for. I have an external HDD for HD movies and even then, 5 movies takes up less than 20GB and I wouldn't need to load more than 5 at a time for trips.
I have 55 GB left on 256 GB MacAir 13.
As of this weekend I cannot save Word documents without all sorts of gyrations.
As much as I love the size and weight, it is just not the right computer for me anymore.. Frustrating. What's the point of portability if you have to carry hard drives, etc to have everything you want and need?

30 GB of a 64GB drive. I carry around an external. I've taught myself to use only what I need on my computer.
I just recently deleted my Windows Partition. I decided for the few windows programs I need to use for school, can be used at school on their computers. So now I have about 90 GBs free on my Air.
I have 98GB left on my 128GB. Mainly have photos, music and iOS Apps. Then pretty much just basics for the rest.
That just what I got. Mac like it comes + MS Office installed.
I guess mine will go down rapidly over the weekend once I hook it up together with my PC on the network and start transferring files.

I didn't need the more expensive SSD option because I know from white MacBook usage that I'm pretty frugal with space. Most of my data is stored on external storage or on the internet (out in the cloud, if you prefer me to use a trendier term).
