[QUOTE="Desolate One, post: 60534"] I mean I can only give suggestions regarding my personal computer usages. It wouldn't be entirely accurate to dictate a certain HDD capacity not knowing how you'll utilize your space. If you think 80GB will be good go for it. I like you feel that 160GB is overkill unless you're archiving your entire music/movie (movies in DivX or similarly sized codec of course) collection. Personally I feel, at the moment of course, that anything above 80GB is a waste. Case in point, all my PCs have multiple HDDs. Usually 40GB for primary and around 60GB for the secondary. Do I use that space? Nope. If I were to give a rough estimate I've used perhaps the equivalent of one of those drives (so perhaps 40+, give or take) Really quite a waste of money in hindsight. Then again, this is with my personal computer usage. [/QUOTE]
