Note:This figure only considers blocks data. If we include chainstate and txindex, it might have crossed 400GB right now.
Most users don't require a txindex. Chainstate is about 7-8GB right now(?), certainly less than 10GB. Block data grows way faster than chainstate, the UTXO set is constantly having entries added and removed but the block data grows linearly.
