When do you know you need a larger disk? (lemm.ee)

As SSD is getting cheaper, I find myself keep thinking that I should buy a bigger one.

But this isn't really a decision based on actual need - and I can tell my mind is playing tricks to convince me that "you need to get it because what if you want to install a lot of large games".

I'm thinking may be a reasonable criteria instead is to see my current utilization, and buy one only if the utilization exceeds a percentage - say ">80% disk util=> buy a new one" as a rule?

What is your criteria to get a bigger disk?

For me, I only have the one NVME slot, so I'm waiting until I can summon the motivation to switch it over and reinstall arch and all the settings the way I like it.

I only have 500GB but with a 2TB external HDD I still have 50% free space
