Most popular amount of hard drive space.

How much space do you have on your hard drive?

 

120gb here and I need the space over 7200rpm...but when a faster 120gb+ hdd comes out Im all for it.

 

Yeah, space over speed for me also. I have 100GB

 

yeah but id rather have a 60gb 7200rpm than an 80 gb 4200rmp...definately

 

speed over space, but minimum of 100gig lol

 

yeah me too, but there is a huge difference btwn a 4200rpm drive and a 7200rpm drive. The difference between a 5400 and 7200 is minimal. and I need all the space I can get and until they offer a 120gb+ 7200rpm sata drive I will be fine with 5400rpm.

 

5400 rpm is the lowest I would go. 4200 is just ridiculous especially with all the processor and ram speed your computer will be slow if you dont have a faster HD.

I need to get an external.

 

100gb because I want the 7200 if im going to game. But yeah when they come out with a 120gb 7200 it will be the best of both worlds.

 

my Insprion has a 40GB 5400rpm HDD and I have an external 250GB 7200rpm USB2 HDD.

 

80 GB 5,400 RPM and 30 GB (old HD) externa 2.5 HD.

I have an 80gb 5,400rpm HDD.

I realized after I should've gotten a 100gb...

 

I have a 100GB drive, but it is 7200RPM (Hitachi). 34% free space.

 

100GB(dv2000t) + 80GB(R3000z) internal + 300GB external = 480GB Total.

 

How much space do you REALLY need? I have an 80GB +120GB external,+40GB portable+240GB on desktop.
With just 20% used on each, and that being the backup of the others.

 

right now i've got a 60GB 5400rpm hdd (51% used), but i'll replace it with a 80GB 7200rpm one when I have the time

Also have a 40GB 2.5" drive in an external enclosure
40GB on one desktop computer
30GB on another desktop

 

I only have 80GB 4200rpm ( it's so slow that games need to pause so much time to load) and I need more. I'm thinking buying an external hdd. 2'5" 80-100 GB if I can.

 

every bit of my 120gb lappy hdd. Because the only other storage I have is a 80gb file server at home that is about to die. I would store things on my wifes desktop(my old home brew I built) but she already is complaining that I left a game or two on there after I gave it to her . It would be nice to have the extra speed and performance but I can wait.

Oh and I dont know about your acer but mine gets around 3 hours.

 

The most popular amount of hard drive space should be 80GB and 100GB in the market because of a best deal to compare of another capacity.
I have 80GB 7200rpm in my laptop, 40GB and 100GB for external hard drive. I will not save everything such as personal data or downloaded file or program to laptop's hard drive. Almost all the data will save to the external hard drive. If i need it, then i will plug it to USB port. If i don't need it, then unplug it.

 

Speed and space. 200 gb 7200 rpm. I've got like 90 percent free. =/

Though, they say it's 200 gb, but really you only get 186 gb space.

 

100 GB 7200 RPM. Bigger and faster would of course be welcome, but I usually don't store that much data anyway.

 

I have 80 gigs on my desktop but only around ~50% of that is being used...so I'd think 60 gigs on my laptop would be enough, but 80 is always nice for the price

 

I have 80gb on my laptop and need more. My desktop has two 160GB drives in RAID-0 giving me 320gb. Very large

 

internal: 80GB, 120GB, 200GB, and another 80GB--all of which are 7200rpm.
external: 250GB
I have 2 desktop and a latop using these HDs. all of them have roughly 40-50% used space on them.

Speed is always more important that capacity.

I have a 100 gb hard drive, and a 300gb external one (in enclosure) and it's not at all enough. Since my entire music collection needs to be on my laptop while I am here at college, I wish I had two TB.

 

In my desktop i got 200GB space but i use only 50GB of it.
Now in my new laptop i have 80GB harddisk space, it's more than enough for me.
I use my harddisk only for windows, games, a little bit music (not more than 250nrs) and a few pictures. Every 3 or 4 months i backup the most important files and format my harddisk. I hate it to use too much drivespace. It makes a notebook or pc slow.

 

100 GB of HD space. I also have external hard drives.

 

100GB at 5400 is enough space and speed for me
120GB external HDD at 7200.But I would guest that it would depend on what you were doing with your HDD also.

 

60gig 5400 rpm.

 

Just finished two systems with raid 0- one has 320gigs spinning at 10,800RPM and the other has 200gigs spinning at 14400 rpm

 

i have a 80 GB 5400 rpm drive. At first it looked like it'll be enought but now i wish that i have gotten a 100 GB

 

The only time I ever came close to filling up the HD was with my first PC (ca. 1996) which had a roughly 800MB HD. My, yet-to-arrive- M1710 has a 7200PRM 80GB HD and that will be more than enough space for me. My desktop has two 74GB Raptors in RAID0 and I'm only using 15% of that.
