Size does matter, but how big is enough?

Times have changed and so has the technology. When I first got this laptop two years ago it had a much larger hard drive than my desk top computer and I was confident that it wouldn't fill up very quickly. But, alas, it is getting too full rather quickly and that makes it slower than it should be. I haven’t been to successful in portioning my hard disk drive, as there really much free space to allocate to the areas that need it. I believe it is finally time to be thinking about a new hard drive and I am unsure as to which one I should get.

I remember the first computer which I had bought was an assembled pc with only a 10 GB hard disk drive. I kept upgrading my system as newer technologies came out and the situation demanded that I needed more hard disk drive space. These days, I have a 120GB hard disk drive system and this to seems just to small.

There are some hard drives out there that are so large they almost boggle the brain. I just don’t know if I should really upgrade my hard disk drive. It’s only two years old and I was thinking maybe I should either buy an external drive or get another internal one if I have the facility built in for it. But, I wonder how fast and dependable these extremely large drives are. So, I ask you this: How big is your hard drive? Have you ever had one of those 200GB hard drives monsters and did it work well?
