The necessary hard drive space largely depends on the size of the repos you want The necessary hard drive space largely depends on the size of the repos you want
to store in GitLab. But as a *rule of thumb* you should have at least twice as much to store in GitLab. But as a *rule of thumb* you should have at least twice as much
free space as your all repos combined take up. You need twice the storage because [GitLab satellites](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/install/structure.md) contain an extra copy of each repo. Apart from a local hard drive you can also mount a volume that supports the network file system (NFS) protocol. This volume might be located on a file server, a network attached storage (NAS) device, a storage area network (SAN) or on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume. free space as your all repos combined take up.
