Oh, how long ago that was. Literally months! Now my storage space looks like this:
Mac Mini - 60GB
Powerbook G4 Al - 80GB
Portable HD - 30GB
PowerMac G4 - 320GB/320GB/300GB/200GB/15GB (320+300 in RAID 0 for backup of 320+200, and 15GB system, so I'll only count 535GB of this)
iPod Nano - 2GB
Total - 707GB
Not too big of a change as far as total space goes, but now I've got 620GB of storage, as well! Of course, if I could get a RocketRAID card in there and get me some RAID 5 action going...
Lets see...
-iMac with 250GB
-PC with 80GB
-iPod Photo with 30GB
-External Drive with 60GB

...and this is just my storage, this house has one more geek with their own horde.
Basically I hate any form of lossy compression. My entire CD and DVD collection is ripped losslessly (I rip my own DVDs so I can watch them from any room in the house without having to get off my ass and get the physical object). I do music (Cubase SX mostly) - heck, just the piano I use is over 40 gigs (Ivory). I take photos and store everything in RAW along with multiple lossless edits of many shots.
Now honestly, it does scare me now that I've seen the total. I found this thread because I was looking for a good eSata card for my G5 because having nice sataII drives hooked up using USB is just not right.
To be honest, I thought I'd see more people in the multi TB range given the video editing community!
(Edit) I see actually there are quite a few, I take it back.

I used to have an old Radio Shack sales flyer framed and hanging on my office wall from years ago when Bill Bixby was the spokesman for Tandy Computers.
Dude was standing with this sly 'I just nailed the neighbor girl' look on his face, with his hand resting on a box that was about the size of the original IBM PC AT.. but it was a 5MB Hard Disk drive.
The tagline said something like, "5 MegaBytes of storage.. more storage than you'll ever need!"
HA!
I remember when I got my first 1GB hard drive, that when formatted had something like 900MB free.. thought I was king of the world.
Today, my main machine has a 250GB drive.. but i'll confess, i've never really needed much more than a 40 GB drive.. and can setup OSX 10.4 with all my favorite apps and junk on a 20GB drive and have lots of space left over.

Personally:
MBP = 80
Backup Drive = 80
Portable Drive = 120
Hosting = 250 GB
I'm in the process of building a storage server/ gaming box. Not sure how I'll juggle between playing games and running Ubuntu on one machine.....
Distributed among 6 guys in our house? Probably around 2TB.
