Datahoarders, how many Linux ISOs do you actually have? (sh.itjust.works)

We've all heard the "my 100TB NAS is full of Linux ISOs" joke but how many of you actually hoard ISOs? I just noticed I have ~100GB, so not that many though definitely way more than I need (I just like to try new distros on my VMs and I never delete them after).

Most of the things I horde that's legitimate are firmware for hardware. All too often I need the firmware and the hardware company had been bought and the new company shuts down the firmware.

Also a few images for soft targets so I can test metasploit ect.
