Dunno about that, ever since my first 40MB Conner I never had a HDD that wasn't continuously lacking free space. Photos are one thing - depending on you megapixel count, quality settings, potential RAW usage and cataloguing software habits (which might store all 184234 edited versions along the original) - but if you're recording any videos these days (in HD, natch, unless you're a 4K nutenthusiast...) you're definitely going to appreciate space. Then even without resorting to shadier (albeit ubiquitous) media procurement methods, if you just try to legitimately backup your 200-ish strong DVD collection you gonna need all you can get - SSDs are an unknown notion in that game...
