Depends on the hard drive capacity. A typical 500GB hard drive can contain a lot of data. The typical user wouldn't fill that much space. Text documents and even pictures barely can make a dent, operating systems (such as windows vista) take about 10 gb. Hard drives have a pretty much unlimited size at this point, you could make a huge one that holds hundreds of terabytes (1000 gigabytes). a standard hard drive is around $100 and would hold between 300 and 500 gb, depending on the manufacturer and the speed of the drive, the faster you go the more expensive.

Does a hard drive with more memory last longer?
Not necessarily. As a matter of fact, nowadays you can get what are called Solid State Hard Drives, which are quite different from the old school IDE hard drives and the current standard SATA hard drives. I don't know much about Solid State Hard Disk Drives but it is my understanding that they tend to last a lot longer than both IDE and SATA. A 60 GB Solid State hard drive will cost about the same as a 500 GB SATA drive, apparently because they last longer and are better all around.
