what would you say is a fair size drive to put in a new build for a normal computer user who is not a heavy gamer .
just a beginner computer user -

I voted 60-100gig cause those drives are newer and faster and you'll never know how fast that new user finds out about p2p

An intermediate user. She surfs the net and plays javagames and does her email. That's it. No P2P no nothin'g.. She has a 40GB HD w/98SE on it and it'sgot 34GB Free!!! I've been trying for months to get her to let me put a 10GB in it and take her 40GB but she won't have it. If she's not careful, I'm gonna pull some covert ops on her before too long! lol.. eGo

Most users just don't need that much space. The only reason to go bigger than 40 gigs for most people is that the current "best value" price point for drives - bang for the buck - is in the 60 to 80 gig range.

However, any male college student needs at least a 120 gig drive for music and porn as well as 5 or 6 megs for school work.

you think 120 is not to small for him maybe a 250 gig

i voted the 40-60

it is perfect to last awhile, incase they decide to save bigger files and crap and need the space

320

Oh wait that's just me

I voted over 100, specifically the 120GB b/c you never know when you want to do some DV stuff.

I'm still using my 40gig from almost 2.5 years ago...

I will need more soon, though. When I get my raptor, I'll move my 40gig into a server and raid it. It'll be a while though, soo busy!
