-- 401GB to 600GB (One hard drive or multiple?)
An old 40 gig for backup, a 160 gig primary drive split into 2 partitions, one for programs one for files ie. music and digital pictures.
A new 250 gig USB external added when I decided I needed more space to back up than my old 40 gig gave me and using multi DVD and CDs was too labor intensive.
Total 451gig + a 2 gig jump drive (anyone remember when we had 2 5 1/4" floppies to do it all???)
Most important thing is to remember to back up routinely using the drive space!

I have two 160GB maxtor SATA drives in raid 0
I then have a 250GB IDE drive and 2x 250GB external USB drives.
So i have 1070GB, and from time to time i have even filled it up!
to be Sensible though I would recommend that 250gb is enough for anyone in a single drive and then it is best to partition. USB drives sometimes take a moment to initialise and anything more than 0.5 seconds is annoying to me. The ammount of space I actually need if i was to back things up properly is less than half of what i have, and just to keep all my games and applications stored and functioning is probably less than 150gb.
mmm

I have a harddisk capacity 80 GB using 40 GB

I can connect 2 harddisks of 80 GB on my computer, that makes 160 GB.
But my computer is a little bit defect and works everytimes at low speed. So I can use only 40 GB in practise.
When the big harddrives are getting older they are loosing power over the years.
