WD 250gb SATA + WD 120gb IDE(that I ripped out of an old Tivo i had lying around) is all I have. I also have my lappy on a network for backup of the important stuff. I will be needing some more, but maybe for X-mas of something, I'm broke now.

Not so much PER PC, but I have tons in external drives for backups (religious imaging) and media storage.
About 2.3TB.

36 Gig Raptor and a WD 320 Gig, at the moment it is just enough. I'm interested in getting a larger Raptor in the near future though. Long term plans - looking forward to solid state storageskies.

Dude.. probably more. What I mentioned was what I have here at home. I didn't even include the machines at work, nor my laptops. My personal machine at work only has a 160GB drive (and the same goes for the accounting/pos machine), but my business partners machine has 4x500GB drives, and 3 externals: 2 more 500GB, and 1x750GB. He's a huge audiophile nut, and pretty much keeps all his music on them (all of which are APE/FLAC encoded) cuz, "It sounds better playing them off of a hard drive than it does off of a DVD."
Uh..  yeah... ok.

"Yep, between 1 terrabyte and 5 terrabytes of storage"
I have a 160GB and a 500GB HD in my PC, but I also have a 160GB internal and a 550GB external HD on my HDDVR.
Altogether that is about 1.32 TB.. I will probably get a 750GB HD to replace the 160GB HD in my PC to give 1.25 TB in the PC alone and 1.91TB total and 2.07TB total if I put the 160GB drive in a media center PC, but I might add that + a 500 to the media center PC so that would give 2.57TB total. HD space is so cheap now, it's great.
Is it spelled terabyte or terrabyte? Edit- I think it is terabyte. http://www.digitaldutch.com/unitconverter/index.htm

combined HDD space (well, about few MBs free anyway) of about 1TB. Plus few hundrends CDRs (full) and 100-200 DVDRs, of which only 10 DL, all full.
I would love some more HDDs but I just don't trust to have everything only on HDDs. After a recent even with a new external HDD that lost me a couple hundrend GBs.
I would love to have something with 1+TB capacity and reliabily so that I am not worried that something will go wrong, it's only a matter of time.

I gotcha.
It's funny. At first you think to yourself, "Oh, I'll never need more than 80GB.", but then after a while you get tired of uninstalling games or what not to get more space back, or you get tired of archiving music, and movies weekly. Then it dawns on you, "If I bought a bigger drive.... then I could store more, and I could have more games installed." and so fourth, and so fourth. "Oh.. that'll be enough. I'll never fill it."
Yeah.. right. First comes the second 80gb drive. Then you replace both with 2x120gb drives. Then 2x160gb. Then 2x200gb. Then you add an external 200gb. Then you go for 2x300gb (just before the 320gb hits the streets.. at which time you start cursing yourself, cuz you could have gotten 20gb more for the same price, damnit!!!). "Bah.. I hate having to turn on one machine just to share files. Hey.. if I bought myself a NAS storage box I could dump everything to it, and share files all the time! YEAH BABY!"
3tb later....
