160GB HDD in MacBook w/ Bootcamp

-

i wondering if 160gb hdd in macbook enough. plan on installing windows xp via bootcamp play games (i'm not big gamer) , use software that's not available mac. plan on keeping media (music, photos) on mac side, , maybe external movies may buy.

seem enough? i'm used having 120-160gb hdd in windows pc, have 80gb laying around nothing on them. right now, 60gb hdd, have 3gb left in xp , 10gb in os x, nothing installed on xp side.

guess i'm little paranoid running out of room. i'd love bigger 160, that's largest seagate makes, , i'd stay them, since haven't had problems @ all.

also, if can recommend great enclosure 60gb i'm going pull out, i'd appreciate it. i'd 1 doesn't out of world. subtle, such free agents or wd passports. connection type isn't issue, long plug macbook.
 

more disk space thing. have 160gb in mbp. though have no boot camp partition (i run vista business through vmware fusion) i'm uncomfortably close running out of space, 20gb left.

when you're planning purchase real question how use space. use music , video, , or make more music , video? need as can get. need of on road? if not, might able keep lot of on cheaper external drives.

on other hand, if disks full of applications , ordinary documents, needs might not grow fast.

factor performance. available 250gb drives 4200 rpm (from apple) or 5400 rpm (an expensive wd drive can online). there 7200 rpm 200gb drive hitachi, costs arm , leg best-performing laptop drive out there right now. 7200rpm 160gb drives or 5400rpm 200gb drives perform acceptably @ lower cost.

i'm disappointed in currys' online service. ordered 16gb touch, once had received confirmation email realised address had wrong house number. tried call them, , bounced around 5 different phone numbers (some repeated, different instructions!) , turned out best advice give me cancel order, , order again change house number! how outrageous. anyway, cancelled order , didnt bother ordering again. time i'm going official apple store. it'll take few more days deliver, better discount voucher. oh, know lazy , myself, apple store's refund policy, if find touch not me can return within 28 days, if isnt defective? because i'd rather have classic?   oh dear god... thought had cancelled it. turns out happened call again due lack of confirmation on cancellation, , said not possible me cancel order had apparently been dispatched already. summing up, have wait ipod (whi...
