We'll do this on a rounded scale, for the sake of even numbers :)
8 bits=1 byte
1,000,000 bytes=1 megabyte
1,000 megs=1 gigabyte
Modern HDD's are typically in the gigabyte storage range.
40/80/160/320 are all common storage capacities.
GIGABYTES
A modern hard drive is measured in Gigabytes (GB) 1GB = 1024MB (Megabytes)
Megabytes, Gigabytes or Terabytes.

When you buy a new Windows XP computer, in what unit is the size of a typical hard drive measured?
Hard drive capacity can be measured in either gigabytes or terabytes. It depends on the amount of capacity it has. Hard drive capacity usually is defined by the largest unit of storage. For example a 2 TB drive usually is not referred to as a 2,000 GB drive.
Usually in GB and they range from 76 to 900 so if you want a really good computer I would shot for about 200 or 300 GB but if you can afford it and you want the best of the best go for a TB withch is (1,000,000,000,000 bytes)
Hard drive space is measured in bytes. Other units are simply built on the term byte, such as kilobyte (1000 bytes), megabyte (1000 kilobytes or 1 million bytes), gigabyte (1000 megabytes or 1 thousand million bytes) and terabyte (1000 gigabytes or 1 million million bytes).
a hard drive failure is when your hard drive stops working...
a hard drive is called "disque dur" in French.
