Disk space needed for planet w/osm2pgsql and flat nodes, in 2016?

0

How much disk space is currently necessary to load planet with psm2pgsql? Preferably in terms of both peak use during loading, and then afterward. I see one entry on benchmarks from 2013 saying 194GB[1] and then an answer here saying 700GB, also in 2013[2]. What disk is necessary in 2016?
