There really isn't a standard size. It's all a matter of opinion and depends on what you will be using the computer for. Generally, they range between 100 GB and 500 GB, but can exceed into the 10 TB range (TB stands for terabyte).

What is the difference between primary an secondy storge in a computer?
Primary Storage traditionally was referred to as your "C:" drive or your primary hard drive. Today a common practice is to split single hard drive into several storage areas using a virtual container call a partition. A single Hard drive can have multiple partitions, a primary partition and multiple secondaries. Each haveing there own drive letter ex: C:, D: & E: could call be on the same physical drive. Your CMOS (complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) settings need to know the primary drive so the PC can find the "boot" or "system files" to load the operating system.
Were the early systems of measurement as accurate as those you use today?
No. The early systems of measurement were not as accurate as those I use today. The systems of measurement I use today are substantially more accurate than the early systems of bygone days were.
What is a Storage device that typically uses flash memory to store data instructions and information?
This is a very general question. There are many types of data storage devices, but the most common storage device that holds data instructions and information we think about today in the modern personal computer is the Hard Disk Device (HDD).The HDD is an example of a magnetic storage media. Other example are tape drives, and floppy disks. Other types of storage are Optical (CD's and DVD's) and solid state devices like flash drives.
What exactly is a data storage device, and how do I use one?
A data storage device is anything that will hold computer files, from the old days of magnetic tape to today's portable USB drives. Well, it depends on how much data you want to store. You can use an external hard drive for large amounts or a portable thumb drive for smaller amounts. Which data storage device you choose depends largely on the amount of data you need to store.
Is hard disk drive not a output device?
The hard drive of a computer is a storage device: it contains the operating system and any data or program files used by the computer. Although a hard drive both accepts input and provides output, it is not accessed directly by the user in either of these functions. A flash drive, CD, DVD, or external drive are other storage devices or media. In early computers, drives wrote to removable disks as CD burners and DVD burners do today. These types of media-writing hardware are considered output devices. Some people that there are three types of devices, not two: "input devices", "output devices", and "storage devices." With that set of definitions, a hard drive would be neither an input device nor an output device, but would sit firmly in the third category, as a storage device
