Hi. I was wondering about all the GBs in an HD, whether more is better.  In my case, I have a 232 GB drive, but use only 52GB, which for me, is a lot of stuff on there. If I was to buy a new rig soon, would a bigger HD be a good thing, or a waste of money seeing as how I am using so little of what I now have? Thanks

My last HDD buys have been big drives. Not that I needed that much space but the per gigabyte price was better. The 1T drives today cost less then the 80G drived did a few years ago.

But in answer to your question you probably do not need a bigger drive.
