SSDs are getting cheaper, but not cheap enough for mass storage for me so currently: 500GB M.2 NVMe boot/system drive * /boot * /boot/efi * / and /var subvolumes sharing remaining space * /home 3TB spinning disk I like having /var as a separate volume because when it was EXT4 I could do a reinstall and format / without losing data in /var. I setup using subvolumes this time before I realized that was no longer possible. I guess it could make snapshots easier though... 2) Do you have multiple drives (SSD/Sata)? > Yup > 3) Is OS on one drive, apps/data on the other? > Hybrid depending on what you consider data, but /home definitely. > 4) Do you switch between OS(es)? > Not on my desktop.

For laptops I just usually opt for a 1TB SSD. Thanks, Richard
