Not necessarily . I remember when I thought installing a game that was 400 megs (Descent III) was completely huge. Now I toss around 400 Meg files like water. A common rule of thumb: If you have the space you will fill it. For example, 1 hour of Digital Video equals about 13 GB.

For some interesting numbers on size of digital audio and digital video: Click Here

What about capturing your fav TV Shows in High Def? or backing up your DVD collection to your hd? You could easily use up a lot of space!
