If you dedicate the 500GiB for FreeBSD you should be fine for the next couple
of years. I think 300GiB should be enough for the next time but it is 
possible that you're running out of disk space because of the packages and
distfiles. If that happens you can exclude the distfiles.
However 400GiB or 500GiB should be more than enough :)

Maybe someone of the releng team or the ftp-master team knows more exact
values.
