The Question Is: What Do You Plan To Do?
Jul 25 '00
I have to ask, because just random comments about what one thinks someone else shoudl do is just so pointless. So i have to ask you, what is it you want frmo a computer? What is it you plan to do with your new Hard Drive? This goes a long way in determining how big it should be.
I myself spend a great deal of time online, and i also love mp3s, and both demand downloading. I am on IRC downloading mp3s as fast as my sexy new cable modem can take them, and that means I need space. Lots of space. After moving into the dorms for the summer, with the super fast ethernet connection I'm started downloading like there was no tomorrow, which is why i recently upgraded my 2 drives (one 13 GB and one 15 GB) by Gigs by installing a 45 gig hard drive in place of the 15. (The 12 Gig Hard drive is my master, and it'd be far too much work to change master drives. Yes, I'm lazy). I know I'm going to need massive amounts of room, as I'd gone through the 15 gig hard drive already, but maybe you don't know what you're doing, so i suggest you think about it.
How many hours a day or week are you going to be online? To me and my internet psycho friends, we're on endless hours per day, and we're all pretty active. I live for installing new programs, but will you? Are you planning on being an email junkie and nothing else? Is your sole purpose of being online to send emails and chill in chatrooms? Do you not know how big your current hard drive is now? If you answered yes to any of those, you probably won't need anywhere near as big a hard drive as i have, infact, you probably won't need more than 6-8 gigs, and that's being generous.
Or, are you swearing that this is the year you're going to master the internet, build web pages and learn languages like there is no tomorrow? Is this the year you start taking computer classes, and trying to start you own internet business, or just trying to master the web as a whole? If so, you're going to want a larger drive so that you can download and try out all kinds of programs and learn. I recommend atleast 13 gigs, so that you never find yourself deleting files because you've run out of space. Well, you could be sexy like me and install another drive, but really, what fun would that be when you could just get one big one now?
So decide what you're going to do with your computer.. as Microsoft says, where are you going to go today? If it's to AOL email and chatrooms, keep the hard drive you have, or get one less than 10 gigs, as you're probably never going to need more, but if you want to learn the computing world, or just sort of get in the web and never look back, look for 13 gigs or larger and save everything. It's a whole lot of fun, babe.
