Hard disks come in a huge array of different sizes and speeds, from 40gigabyte all the way up to 200gigabyte and more.
You wouldn't normally need any more than 40GB if you only use the PC for word processing and internet browsing.

Hard disks come in a variety of capacities, from a humble 10Gigabytes - not much cop except for a secondary backup up to a wopping 400G. For a pc at home 40 or 60G would be enough unless you are going to download tons of music and video files - they use up much more space. For storage of large amounts of these an external drive is generally the best as these tend to have a far higher capacity - Seagate offer these with 160, 175 and 200Gigabytes. Usually plug in via the USB port.

I think that you mean hard disk. Seagate just introduced a 750 GB Gigabyte hard drive. Some other examples are 80 GB, 160 GB, 200 GB. They come in all capacity sizes.

1Gb drive can hold the equivalent of 694 floppy disks, and 80Gb drive can hold the equivalent of 55,555 floppies!! That's a stack over 150m high!!
Some of the very latest Terrabyte drives hold 12 times more data than a normal 'domestic' 80Gb.
Just one 1.44 Mb floppy can hold around 250,000 words - around 300 pages of text.... you do the math!!

Instead of asking so many questions Bobby, buy a book on the fundamentals of Personal Computers, and read it.
