-- Posted by tiara at 5:55 am on Oct. 22, 2008 Is that alot of memory for lets say a university student?? -- Posted by DefaultTo0 at 6:00 am on Oct. 22, 2008 You can get a portable one for <$100.  Internal ones will be cheaper. -- Posted by ElephantStone at 6:07 am on Oct. 22, 2008 my laptop has 250gb. i dont think ill ever fill it. -- Posted by flowingjuice at 6:13 am on Oct. 22, 2008 that is a lot lmao. how much work do you plan on doing lmao? -- Posted by SAMMYJS99 at 6:25 am on Oct. 22, 2008 Quote: from tiara at 8:55 am on Oct. 22, 2008 Is that alot of memory for lets say a university student?? ive seen an external 1TB drive for under $180. -- Posted by Spuddlesworth at 6:39 am on Oct. 22, 2008 Depends on how much music you have.  My uni laptop has 320GB but now that i've loaded on all my software, photos, music and videos etc i have about 100-80GB left.  I also have my old 200GB internal drive in a USB enclosure so I can use it as an external drive.  I like my storage. -- Posted by EyelashWishes at 6:46 am on Oct. 22, 2008 tbh it depends on what you want to do at uni i'm doing music, and music technology so i need the 250gb that came with my laptop and an external hardrive with 450gb on it, and even then im struggling for space lol -- Posted by espresso8097 at 2:15 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 It depends on what you do. I have over 300GB of data.  But, most people end up using less than 100GB. I have 1 500GB drive 1 250GB drive 1 120GB drive -- Posted by DaveH at 3:09 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 Its more than enough, i upgraded from an 80GIG to a 250 GIG, and it's taken be 2 years to fill it up. It holds tons of movies, programs, and music. as well as two operating systems so it's plrenty for normal use. -- Posted by Dannay at 5:23 am on Oct. 23, 2008 Thats enough if you don't have a lot of games. -- Posted by obvious child at 10:59 pm on Oct. 29, 2008 The only reason most people need more then 160 is for large amounts of music or video. -- Posted by mysticgohan at 12:43 am on Oct. 30, 2008 Depends if you do a lot in video or photography it will get filled, but then you just have to buy an external.
