80Gb Hard Drive Netbooks

80 Gigabyte hard drive netbooks
An 80Gb drive is a fair amount of space for a netbook. It really depends on how you use your netbook as to how much space you need. If this is going to be your only computer - and you are a keen photographer and buy loads of digital music - this is probably as low as you should go when it comes to hard drive size. If this netbook is a second computer that you'll be using mostly to surf the web and send emails, you can save money and get a netbook with a smaller hard drive.

More Information

There are two types of netbook hard drives. Solid state hard drives are smaller, usually under 16Gb in size. They are fast and boot up very quickly. Solid state hard drives don't have any moving parts - so are shock proof. Optical hard drives are larger - anything up to 250Gb - and cheaper. They do have moving parts, and can be affected by movement, but you'd have to really bang it around to have much of an effect.
