As with most answers "that depends." Most computer users will be fine with a hard drive around 20-3GB. If you take a lot of digital pictures with a consumer digital camera (ie something that cost less than $700) then you will probably be OK with a hard drive of around 50GB (giga-byte). The same size hard drive is probably fine for people with a fairly large MP3 collection. If you are a photography hobbiest and take pictures in RAW (or even know what that means), then you probably need several hundred GB possibly more depending on if you take pictures for a living. If you want to edit video taken with your camcorder, you will need a LOT of space. I have a computer with over 2TB (tera-bytes: 1TB = 1000GB) of data to store all of my client's video projects.
