I've noticed that you guys have really large hdd's, do you really need 2tb? I use a 200gb and it works fine, maybe because I delete the most of the movies I download but still, 2tb seems a bit overkill to me. Or am totalyl wrong? I'm planning to upgrade my hdd to maybe 500gb but probably not over 1tb.

I have a 1TB now, just because it was the best choice for me, fast and not expensive. At least I can store all my music. But still, before I used two HDDs of each 160 GB, they never got full.
I think that's because I didn't and still don't watch movies on my pc (except for porn). I'd rather be doing other things, like making maps and playing games and browsing the interwebs.

Ive got a 500gb harddisk, and its enough space for the moment, but I think I will need an external harddisk sooner or later =D
A classmate got like 4-5 harddisks and they are together at least 3tb, and it seems like he needs more =O I will never be able to understand that =X
