Depends on what you want to store on there.
If you’re putting loads of music and photo’s then 80gb might not be enough. If it’s just for documents, say word and eccel, then 80gb will probably suffice…
They’re cheap enough these days I’d go for 250gb then you’ve always got extra space if you need it. Or even bigger…

It depends on your needs.
The larger the disk, the more data you can store, but the more expensive it is.
If you don’t have a lot of data to store, then getting a very large disk would be a waste of money.
If you have a lot of data to sore, then getting a cheap disk would leave you running out of space.
We don’t know your needs.

It depends on how you use it.
I have 2000+ music clips and scan all financial paperwork to my computer. I also scan in pictures and do a lot of research. This stuff takes a lot of space.
New software also takes a lot more space than old (Office 2007 uses 3 times as much space ar Office 2003).
So think about what you’re putting on the PC and how long you’re keeping it.
(BTW – I ended up with 160 GB and use about 110)

if it’s an external hard drive, it’s really up to you as to how much you want and are willing to spend…

any amount after 160 GB, depends on how much money you have….
