All sorts of them laying around, mostly 80 or 120. 1TB hard drives are only like $140 now.

Let's see...

Apple Macintosh LC II: 40MB
Packard Bell Legend: 420MB
HP Pavilion 4535: 5GB
HP Pavilion [family]: 120GB
MacBook Pro: 200GB

Most of my hard drives are around 4GB lying around the house. I also have that dead 40GB IBM Desk Star hard drive, which I highly do not recommend ever purchasing. But 40 GB is pretty much all I really need for everything I use, music, OS, and files combined.
Since January 2005, I've been in the Operating Systems Prototype Community. I've enjoyed learning more these past four years about the development of the Windows and Macintosh operating systems, as well as learning of new user-based projects that optimize system performance.

Looks like everyone tops out at 1.8TB. I have a 1TB external (but currently set to mirroring, so 500GB effectively), then a 240 and an 80. I also have a 160 that's inoperable, but I want to get it working again someday (tons of stuff on it).

My girl friend says the size doesn't matter, it's how you use it.
