Disk Free Space Forecast in R

[VTechzBI]

I am trying to predict hard disk space in R. I am pretty new to R so need your help.

I have four columns
Col 1 = List of Computer Names (100)
Col 2 = List of Disk in that computers (C: D: etc)
Col 3 = Date (Every day 12:00 AM)
Co l4 = Total Space for that disk as on every day
Col 5 = Used Space as on every day

I am trying to predict when these list of disks will gets full. I mean on which date.

I don't know if I have to do linear regression or time series forecasting or arima or etc.,

What is the right approach..?

The answer is, "it depends", there is no "one model to rule them all" kind of thing for making forcasting, so you would have to give more insights about your data and ideally a REPRoducible EXample (reprex) for your issue.
