poor hard drive

i put a 80GB hard drive in my computer don't know the name brand due to the fact that I don't go by name brands...I got an 80GB because I do alot of stuff on my computer like pictures and I have alot of software and I don't want to run my computer down by having all that and a little hard drive I had a 10GB before this one and had alot of problems because I had no room so it really depends on what you do with your computer but bigger is always better it costed me $75 to get the 80GB but its money well spent
