I have 80gig, and it's almost always full (less than 2 gig free). I'm considering getting more, but am very hesitant because I just don't feel like paying for more. I could spend a day burning CD's but I don't feel like doing that either. I decided that I'd see whether I have much space compared to others here. If I'm behind the curve, I'll get another harddrive.

Edit: To give you an idea of how fast I fill this up, I have transfered out 95gig of stuff in the past month. I have recieved 87gig in the past month. This is a shock to even me, I didn't realize this until after I created this thread :Q

I've got an 80gig in my box at the mo, and a 60 gig which i need to repartition/merge and put it soon. I'm thinking about using an old p2 450 I have as my ftp server though.

I got a 40gb harddrive... and I still have 90% of it free...

The only reason I got a 40gb was becuz the 20gb was sold out when I went to get a new harddrive...

I have 200 GB right now, soon to be 340 when I get a new drive. All my drives are filled up with Simpsons, Family Guy and Seinfeld episodes. Lots of MP3s, lots of games and apps.

God I need more space. I've got two computers at home, each with a 20GB drive. Then I've got another with an 8.4GB drive. After that, it's a little clunker system with a 1.3GB :)

I need to pick up an 80GB drive so I can have more room for all my MP3s and my ever-growing DIVX library. I currently keep my 50+ movies on CD as well as all the TV shows (currently working on downloading the last couple of episodes of Scrubs to finish off the season :) )
