    Well, I have a MBP and 256gb with it about half full. That's mainly Logos with about 6K books, some videos/pictures, ios backups, and a few other odds/ends. Mainly Logos.

    So, I'd suspect, it works out to how much VIDEO do you download … that's the biggie. Logos and your library won't eat up that much (as a percent … varies by library, but yours isn't too big).

    I have a MB Air M2 with 256 GB and 8 GB of RAM. I have quite a few resources and with the other apps loaded onto the system and very few other files, I have used up about 200 GB of storage. On my PC my Logos resources take up about 86 GB of space. My total Logos installation takes up about 134 GB.

    I don't use this computer very much but Logos seems to run fine on it. I wouldn't buy this configuration, as it wouldn't be enough for all I do on my laptop, but if your needs aren't great then it might be fine. I would err to the side of more storage if you can afford it. (I know its expensive on a Mac.)

    In general you need at least 512 GB in order to have enough free space (SSD in particular) for Logos and other apps. My needs are modest and I use around 220 GB, so I need a drive with at least double that amount i.e. 512 GB. I actually have a 1 TB NVME drive because it is the same price, but much faster than an internal SATA SSD.

    Yeah, if I was buying a new computer, I think there is a risk of not going for 512GB to future-proof it.

    My Surface Pro has a 256GB SSD. With just MS Office and Logos loaded, it struggles with disk space being sufficient when indexing.
