750 GB seems to be plenty for TV recordings (most of which we don't even watch). The largest, and fastest growing segment is for the "Videos". Having at least another 750 would be comfortable for a while for that. The rest total to less than 300 GB together.
If I were to rebuild the system with only 1 new (replacement) drive, I would add another 750 or 1TB for Videos, and move the rest to a single 500. To ensure space for everything else, I will likely put videos, games and ISOs on a 1 TB drive in a single volume (xfs/ext4). That should leave plenty of space for the system and everything else on /var. The 500 GB drive will be the boot drive and contain everything else as ext3/4.
