I wanted to install wallet and I wonder, how much space do I need to get whole blockchain on my disk? I have and SSD but it's 100GB free space.

Blockchain at the moment is 135 GB so your SSD is too small.

I think its more like 125 GB but you should have space for it to grow in coming days/weeks/months so plan ahead.
You need at least 150 GB to be able to run it for months and 200 GB to be safe for longer time

i think your disk to small, there are still more data incoming, you need to upgrade your disk.
if you don't have space on your disk i suggest you to use electrum, you don't need to download big data of blockchain just sync it and its easy to use with good security features.

For looking into the future, it appears to grows close to about 5GB a month.

You won't need the full space of the blockchain if you use the pruning feature in recent versions of Bitcoin Core. If you use pruning, you shouldn't have an issue with 100GB free space.

Damn. Probably I will have to use HDD, to keep the free space safe. Thanks a lot for all replies.

The other problem is the blockchain builds in size each and everyday and the hard drive will get more and more full so you need to make sure you get well over 235gb to accommodate this. You don't want to try open your wallet one day because you need to make a transaction only to find you have no space left to download the rest of the blockchain.

I think prune won't work for him either. It will start removing blocks beyond the limit only after full sync. At least that's how it works for me now. I used prune=4096 and my blocks folder is already 50 GB in size after almost 400k of blocks synchronized. But maybe I just did something wrong.
