I was curious about what size hard drives people here have,

I have twin 250Gb Seagate SATA Hard Drives
and a 80Gb SATA Hard Drive in my Mac

I am saving up for a large 1 Terabyte USB Drive

200Gb SATA Segate HD in Main PC (ST3200827A). Not bothered to get any better HD yet.

All sorts of them laying around, mostly 80 or 120. 1TB hard drives are only like $140 now.

I forgot to mention I did have a 160 GB HD but it died a horribly death in regards to static, I was gonna put it in the secondary

1TB (Sata)
500GB (Sata)
200GB (Sata)
120GB (IDE, soon to be replaced with a 1TB. The oldest part of my computer)

only my 500gb has any real space on it right now, the rest only have a few gb left.

edit:
and a 80GB external hard drive

400GB SATA, Western Digital
160GB Passport Drive (external), Western Digital

Let's see...

Apple Macintosh LC II: 40MB
Packard Bell Legend: 420MB
HP Pavilion 4535: 5GB
HP Pavilion [family]: 120GB
MacBook Pro: 200GB

Most of my hard drives are around 4GB lying around the house. I also have that dead 40GB IBM Desk Star hard drive, which I highly do not recommend ever purchasing. But 40 GB is pretty much all I really need for everything I use, music, OS, and files combined.

Looks like everyone tops out at 1.8TB. I have a 1TB external (but currently set to mirroring, so 500GB effectively), then a 240 and an 80. I also have a 160 that's inoperable, but I want to get it working again someday (tons of stuff on it).

Mine:

Old PC
1x 160GB (Maxtor)

School's harddrive (school got the computers to put it in)
1x 120GB (Maxtor)

New PC
1x 1000GB (1TB) Seagate

Various External drives
1x 250GB (2.5") Freecom -- Samsung drive
1x 400GB (western digital)
1x 500GB (maxtor)
1x 500GB (western digital)
1x 1000GB (1TB) Maxtor

So in total

1000
500
500
400
250
1000
120
160
-----+
3920GB = 3.9 TB

Enough space?
No, going to get another 1TB Drive in the future and maybe more

But ask mrpijey, he has even more.

My girl friend says the size doesn't matter, it's how you use it.

What Size Hard Drive do you have?
