I kind of did something dumb, and am using a 0% APR payment plan to buy a HDD...

As long as you didn't refinance your house for this, all good.

My desktop has 13 gigabytes free. I need to come up with some plan.

I've effectively added 36 TB in the past week. 

It's been an adventure. 

Added a new drive. One of the older ones was having issues. 

So I added a second one to replace it. 

But I am keeping the one that was having issues for less demanding work. The RAID building was crushing that drive. But performance seems fine by itself. 

I also have another drive that I took a risk on and it didn't pan out. Supposedly some external drives are exos drives if you remove them. But it wasn't the case for me.

I have 164.5 TB of drives on my server now. (there's 1 20 TB drive and the OS is on a 0.5 TB SSD.)

128 TB of usable space.

I think I've generally been adding another 18 TB drive every ~6 months. But I expect that will change....
