Should I Upgrade To 60 Gbs Or 80 Gbs?

[BROCKSTER]

ive just gone from a 12gb to a 120gb whats the point in a 80gb wen its not much more price wise for a 120gb mine cost me £100

[Benno]

80 GB for sure, its hard to believe how fast they fill up. If you can afford it go for a 120 GB.

[EnJoi]

thank guys ill but ill think i ll get 80 gbs for me

[ooo]

get an 80!

wat are you talking about filling up fast... i have a 16gb hard drive!... lololol... it does not fill up fast if you put your files on to cds... thatz what i do... my com has like 7gbs free and thatz for dling... i dl up to like 3gbs and they put files into cds...

80gb is like for 100....

yea, i got an 80gb and a 40gb which went currupt.. had to backup 30gb of data from the 40gb onto my 80gb... ugh not it's freakin full... gonna try to get a bigger hd to have as extra space.
we all wish for them Server drives that are huge, but then our ISP would be like WTF IS GOING ON WITH THIS FOO... *loud nocking noise on door*

keep it cool and low . 1,000gb at the max..

Fills up fast? Don't you guys know how to control yourselves?

The bigger the better, what seems massive now wont next year. on he subject of brands go for a maxtor or a seagate barracuda, both excellent, Dont touch Western Digital with a barge pole, I bought a job lot of 15 40gb drives and had 3 go down withing the first 2 weeks, if they're gonna fail they fail early, but 3 out of fifteen is unacceptable. Also i read that IBM expects a failure rate of 5% within the first 6 months, I personnally think that a 20-1 chance on losing your data within 6 months is not a good bet, other techs i know who work with IBM a lot figure that the 5% is optomistic, they figure its higher. At least one maxtor comes with a 3 year guarantee, so hang onto the receipt!

definitely go for the biggest u possibly can......don't u remember when windows came on floppy disks?

I do.....I remember being astonished it filled up MORE THAN 1 3.5".

and that was only a few years ago, Im not that old.
