Yeah, good questions. One of which I have asked my self.

I mainly use my machine for gaming and surfing. And I don't keep games around. Once I am finished playing it, I uninstall it. I'm not big on the replay of games.

I currently have a 20 GB primary drive and a 40 GB Raid (mirrored) that hosts the "My Documents" folder. I keep basically nothing on the primary drive except for the OS and installed programs. Once I DL something, I move it over to the RAID. I have lost too much data in the past to not archive on the RAID.

The only reason I bought the 120 in the first place was because it was so freaking cheap. The only reason I'm upgrading is because I'm down to about 3 GB free space on my C drive. It has taken me almost 2 years to get this full, so I think the 40 Gig drive should be enough to keep me content until I build my next machine.
