Infinity... the more the merrier at the workplace
For example, Yahoo (the entire portal, including Y!A) accumulates 10 terabytes every single day. Google's and Microsoft's data farms are in petabytes. Same goes for Tax Office, Walmart and Federal Express and many other web-, customer-, financial, transaction-oriented companies.
Have you heard of Moore's law? I think it basically says cpu processing speed will double every 1.5 years. But its exponential growth has seemed to slow down.
But not growth of data at commercial and government level, because data storage is getting cheaper per unit gigabyte, collection of data for competitive advantage, and maturity of data mining algorithms is requiring need for larger disk space.
For the average user at home, at this stage, 80-100 gigabytes is enough to store some DVDs, pictures, backup of office work, and music.

In this age, 100-200 GB is perfect! File sizes and operations on a daily basis for most people on average will not require so much space.

get the biggest you can afford. this will prevent you from having deleting stuff from your hard drive just because you ran out of room. also, how long do you think you will own the computer? some people buy new every 2 years, they could go with the average size and save money.

about 500 GB should be OK, for about a week or two.
