You can get almost any size in gigabytes you want in a hard drive. 50, 100, 500, whatever you feel they make it. In fact there are now hard drives that are larger than gigabytes, they are called TeraByes. A gigabyte is 1 billion characters.

∙ 11y agoThat's like asking, "How big is the room?" Just as the answer to that depends on the house, The answer of how large is the hard drive depends on the form factor and make and model of the hard drive. If you mean physical size, hard drives of today come in 3.5", 2.5", and 1.8" form factors. If you mean storage space, 3.5" drives can store up to 4TB of data, 2.5" drives can store up to 2TB, and 1.8" can store around 320GB.
