I'm running a full node on a server with a 1TB hard drive just like you:
$ df -h | sed -n '1p;/\/$/p'
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p2  937G  555G  334G  63% /
Bitcoin blocks use up more than 500 gigabytes:
$ du -hs .bitcoin/blocks/
516G    .bitcoin/blocks/
To reduce disk usage, you can run your node in pruning mode: https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#configuration-tuning
Pruning does not lower security, but you lose historical data. Personally, I want to run a full archival node. I plan on upgrading my node eventually as free disk space starts to run low. But there's still several years before that.
If you don't care about archiving, reconfigure your node to run in pruning mode!
