I'm sure some people are just crap hoarders. I've got a 128gb ssd and my data backup size for the last 30 years is about 12Gb including music and photos leaving the disk about 60Gb used.

1Tb? Never shall I fill one.

It's reasonably easy to fill a 16GB card with < 1 yr's worth of mountaineering still photos from a modern digital camera. Documents are small, but images and video, especially at high quality, consume a lot of space.

Are all the photos great? No. Will I know which ones will prove useful in the future? Only approximately. Storage is cheap!

I tend to delete all the shit photos up front. I perhaps end up with 10-15 a trip that get kept (60-90 Mb off my D3100 in jpeg fine).

Storage is cheap but ending up with so much noise you can't see the interesting bits is expensive on time, and that is finite.
