Hi all. I always curious how much space all of us require for our daily life(here space means hard disk). I have a lot of movies in my computer,games,music. Mostly though its movies. Because of this the harddisk has been upgraded 2 times. Initially it was 80 gb,then 320 gb added,then 500 gb added. How about u guys? don't be shy to post the size now.I used 10 gb hard disk till 2006!

I have 500GB internal and a 500GB external, which is alot of space, and I use no where near that. But it is a nice feeling to have it there and not to worry about running out for another while yet, if ever! But I know that if it does come a day that I run out of space, its so easy to get extra :)

Yeah, I only use the internal hard drive for programs. I have no data stored on it. The external contains all of my backups, movies, music, pictures, files etc :)

That way, if Windows decides it wants to fail and worst case comes I have to reinstall it, atleast I dont lose all of my data. However, externals can sometimes fail, thats why im thinking of setting up the external on a RAID, can never be too careful ;)

hello alex, in 2004 when i have bought my first pc that time i have the 80Gb of hard disk. after 3 weeks i feel the low space on HDD. after two months i have replaced my hard disk with 200GB. and my 80Gb hard disk is used as Data Transfer with my collage friends. we transfer around 50 Gb of data in one month. then i have burned the DVDs for the DATA saving. now i have one laptop with 320GB of Hard disk and this is also very low space for data storage. when will i have to need more data then i have need of the burning the DVD to store the data.

Its very difficult with 80 gb man. Upgrade if u want to not waste too much data. writing CDs,DVDs r a waste in my opinion. Creates too much junk(I have to deal with that now). Also it get corrupted as well. keep posting . AP

Initially when I bought my computer i had got a hard disk of 500 Gb with it . but after some time I purchased another 500 gb . is my normal capicity . I also recently added a 250 gb hard disk to my pc . At least i feel that i can add more amount of data than I had before. But you cant say anything, after 1 year from now 1 tb hard disk will be very common on all pc!!!

I have no idea how big my hard disk is. Only thing is that my boyfriend buys external hard drives to keep up with everything he needs to store so I guess my hard disk is not that important.
