I bought an 80gb HDD a few months ago to run windows of. I keep no files on it, just windows and programs, that way the drive is much faster than running Windows of a 500Gb.
I am surprise by people using 500gb, 700gb boot drives, to me it seems foolish, and as the boot drive is most likely to fail, it is pointless keeping your files on it.
Some people only want / can afford one hard drive. Other people download on to a 300 gig OS array and then unpack / unrar to a separate 1.5 TB storage array. Most storage solutions aren't universally smart or stupid ;)
Generally speaking, higher capacity drives are faster due to a higher bit density on the platter itself. Not to mention greater cache sizes on these drives.
Running your OS off of an 80gb drive should not significantly increase your OS performance over having say, two 250gb drives.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.

I can't even wipe my bum with 160GB. File this under who gives a duck.
