3/4 terabyte, i remember back in the day when having a 4 gig hdd was like "OMFG"
My dad once bought a 800 MEGABYTE Hard drive for $300
I guess that was a lot of space back then...
I remember my family's first modern PC- Windows 95, Pentium (I or II) 200mhz and a .9 or 1.2 GB harddrive. LOL

Reminds me that I should get a 500 GB. My 120GB doesn't cut it off anymore.
160GB does it for me, I'm only using around 90 gigs. What takes up most of your space anyway? Music?

Right now I don't have much space to work with (a 30 GB notebook HD and a 200 GB external) but I know if I had more space, I would definitely find things to fill it with. For example, I plan on one day ripping all of my DVDs onto my hard drive, so that I can watch them right off of it. Uncompressed, they are about 4+ GBs a movie, and I've got around 50 or so movies, so that's 200 GBs right there! And that isn't even including music. I encode my music as FLAC, so it is usually over 300 MBs per disk. So, if you think 3 albums per GB, and I have around 180 albums, that's another 60 GB. Also, I plan on encoding my library as 192k MP3 for compatiblity's sake, so that will tack on another 14.5 GB or so (assuming around 80 MBs per album). And then another 3 GB or so for the OS+updates and a dozen or so more GBs for apps... it adds up!
I remember when I had a 1 gigabyte SCSI disk on my 386 at 16 MHz. It was enormous, I had tons of games on it, but I couldnt fill it.
It was like endless.
Good old days, heh.
What takes most is probably movies.
