I know I won't be using that much space.

However, it's not much more $ than say 600 GB.

What country?
Well no not really overkill depending on how much data you have or plan on having...

If you download movies and games and Movies and Software regularly then a 750gb or 1tb is good...

Are there different qualities, or is a HD a HD?

There's a 1TB at Frys for $90

What's a 500GB HDD? Like $60? You could just as easily get one of those and save a bit of money towards something else or upgrade a different component.

i have a hard time filling 250gb.

I usually delete shit I don't use / need, so it never really fills... though I do cringe a little every time I delete 70gb from my ahem downloads folder.

Most people, even pirates, won't use 500GB. I have over 110GB free space on 368GB of hard drive space spread over two 200GB HDDs, holding over 200GB of entertainment (music, games, movies). If you need more space, you can always add a second drive, or burn data to optical media.

1TB for $90 is good, prices are so low now. I got my 200GB drives at $50 a piece just 2 years ago.

Edit: I'm stuck on a piece-of-crap 256k DSL connection, so I don't get much.

1tb is a good size, i'd say. if you're like me and you copy alot of movies, games, and download alot, you'd soon come to realise that it's not an over-kill.

Yeah, I got a 1TB in this computer and I'm pretty glad. Got lots of games and graphics apps installed, and I seed when I don't use Rapidshare. Then there's my OS partitions Rolling Eyes

Not saying I wouldn't get by easily with a 500GB, just happy I got the freedom to do whatever. Why am I rambling, who do I think I am, Robert Plant?

I have 2 500GB in RAID0, because I download a lot of anime.

HDD space isn't overkill because if you look at it from a price/capacity viewpoint, 1TB is cheaper in GB/$ than a 500GB HDD. 1TB is like $0.10/GB, while 500GB is like $0.12/GB.

1TB is more future-proof because now games take up 5-20GB each. *cough* GTA IV, 14GB download
