That depends on the drive. There are many different sized drives, so you will need to check each one. most modern drives are at least 64GB, and usually more like 512GB (called 500GB)--there should be a sticker on the casing which will tell you. You could also check through your system. To do this, you will need to know how many partitions your drive has. Usually there is only one, but if you have a backup partition or multiple operation systems, you will have more. Open Windows Explorer to "My Computer." Right-click on your C: drive and select properties. Under the General tab, you should see a pie graph showing your drives space. Just above that you should see an entry for "capacity" and read the number of GB it lists. If you only have one partition, then that is just under the size of your drive. If you have multiple partitions, then do this for each partition, and add then up. The drive will always be a little larger than the number you come up with, since some space is used in formatting, and some may not have been usable for partitioning for whatever reason.

How much internal harddrive do you need 4 internet?
BOTH Hard drive (GB) and Internet (Mbps) have different terms of measurement. In storage they relate as how much data you wish to store for uploading or downloading content from Internet you can decide as per your system's storage capacity (or yours how much you can buy and keep it in a safe place - external storage drives).
What is the capacity of a hard disk?
this changes with time. currently average storage of a hard disk is about 250 GB when purchasing a new computer. The highest amount of space I have seen on a new hard drive is 1.5 TB (that's 1024 GB * 1.5) and the smallest I have seen is down to a few MB (1024 MB = 1 GB) but that's for a very very old hard disk.
What are the benefits of installing a 160gb external hard drive on a computer that already has an 80gb internal hard drive?
If you need additional storage capacity, external hard drives are an excellent way to go. The key is deciding whether you really need the additional storage, and if so, how much. Other storage media, such as CDs and DVDs, are easy and readily available if you only have limited backing-up to do, but for larger jobs, external hard drives do a great job. On the other hand, if you're looking for more space for applications, you may want to look into replacing your internal hard drive with a larger one, or perhaps adding an additional internal hard drive. Good luck.
What is the difference between memory and hard drive for a laptop?
"Memory" is what's called "volatile" storage. When the computer is turned off, all of the data is gone. The hard drive is what's often called "non-volatile" storage. A hard drive stores data in much the same way that a music tape stores your music. The hard drive storage can be deleted or changed and the "current" data will be available next time the computer is turned on.
