Authors, writers and researchers will probably all exceed 6GB easily.
I currently have over 5GB of research material on my computer, and maybe 1GB of my own writings, and that is for my hobby! (much more for work)

I also have almost 6GB of workfiles (files I created for work) on my main work computer and that only encompasses the last 18 months ... I used to have copies of all my older workfiles and workfiles for the company on my home system but I burned them onto 8 DVDs. Yep, that is a lot of files, but some professions are like that.

There are some people & professions that will tend toward VERY high amounts of documents. Having swappable SD cards is high on my list for some unknown reason

Happy
