How much data do you store.

Just to get an impression, about how much data an Info manager/personal knowledge application should be able to handle.
How many web pages do you store?
How many PDF files and how much own notes?

Do you use automatic download/webscrapping tools? I think thats the only way to get a lot of data. I have friends who filled their 30TB NAS with important videos from youtube (because you never know when the government takes them away :-) ) But even all topics from this forum together are just 6MB.

What are the limits? The theoretical but more important the real world limits when it becomes to slow to use of the popular solutions like DevonThink, The Brain, Evernote, OneNote, MyInfo, RightNode, OmniOutliner etc. ?

Has any reviewer ever measured this?
Or are CRIMPers changing their tools so often that they can’t fill it with lots of data before their brain signals that it’s time to try something new better?
