LOL! Why don't you start by telling us your own opinion?

Well, hard disk space is never enough. Even if I have a 400GB hard disk, I will still find stuff to fill it up with.

I have 300 GB worth of HD (74 GB Raptor & 250 GB Maxtor) and about 8 GB free. Up quite a bit from the 500 MB I had free the other day. Thank god for DVD burners!

LOL! It will never be enough! Currently using 80GB, planning to get a bigger HDD! Samsung probably.

Hehe...I have 40GB + 2x120GB HDD in my PC atm. All filled with junk from MP3s (in which half I never gone thru yet) to video clips.

I bought an eternal 80Gb Hd for my notebook, within a month it's full, then I bought a DVD recoder to backup my files......

Believe it or not, I get by on a 20GB hard drive. Just have to be organised, and don't download/install rubbish. I guess that fact that I'm on 56k also helps in the download aspect.

I have 120GB and one 80GB. But the 120GB still haven't fill up yet. *sigh* What to do... got heart to do it but Telekom doesn't allow.

I;ve got a 120Gb Maxtor, a WD 200Gb, and an external Maxtor HD 200GB.
