500GB Without sampler libs , 1TB with Sampler Libs minimum

My thoughts as well. I have tons of plugins and programs and have space to spare (about 150GB) on a 480GB SSD system drive. Plugins and apps are not that large really.
But I also have 8 other hard drives for recording to, samples, video files, rendering, and all the stuff that really takes up space. For example, Kontakt 5 is only ~ 275MB for the app/plugin... but all the Kontakt libraries I have are about 400GB.
Media Composer is about 4GB... but I'm currently working on about 3TB worth of video. Apps are not that large.
You don't want to go too small for a system drive either, sure, you can get by with 256GB, but then you may have issues if you purchase plugins and libraries and it downloads and unzips by default to a location on the system drive before it offers you an option install to another location.
So around 500GB and up is what I'd say for the system drive.
