40 Megabytes is not a lot at all. It can store maybe 57 pictures. It's really small for today's needs. It's more likely 40 Gigabytes now that is still small for hard drives today but it can be enough for the average home user. Good Luck HTH.

40 megabytes is not that much these days, most hard drives are about 250gigabytes which is 250 000 megabytes. id say about 10-20 songs

Difficult to answer. My first external hard drive was 20megs, and saw me OK for 5 years.
In order, documents take next to nothing. Pics take a bit more, but not much. Music takes a fair whack.
The way that Microsoft works takes a hell of a lot of stuff just making folders to keep your stuff in, and is extremely wasteful.
But to give you some idea. Most mobile phones have at least 20 times that amount of memory in its SIM card. And your mp3, probably about 10 times that amount.
So. Not a lot.

In this current day and age, no. It really depends on what you want to store. You could store quite a lot of text files, but not many music files. Video is out the window. Could you be more specific on your question though?

40 meg is not very much at all. For comparison purposes, an avererage song is around 1.3 to 3 meg. You could get about 32 - 34 songs on it.

I don't know about you, but here I can buy a HDD (250gig) for 100 euros or a 2gig flash disk for 20 euros. With prices like that, why would you opt for 40mb
even for drives for cameras or mobile phones, you only pay about 20 euro for 256mb

depends on the data you want to store. here for example:
Office File commonly only take spaces from 10-500kb, so you can have up to 80.000 pages text only on 40Mb
Music MP3 128kbps using up to 900kb/min. Then you'll have only about 400 minutes audio on 40Mb.
another multimedia files can have more than 40Mb filesize each.
now decide yourself, is 40Mb enough?

Its almost nothing by todays standard, for documents its fine, anything else is not, ie. a single MP3 song is approx 5MB, so that will fit into 40MB about 8 times
