Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If you want a hard drive for general use, your safest bet is getting a 500GB – 1TB hard drive for storing files. That should be enough to cover most standard file storage needs. The price difference between a 500GB and 1TB is typically negligible, so I personally recommend going for a 1TB drive.

Detailed explanation-2: -You’ll commonly see a recommendation that you should leave 15% to 20% of a drive empty. That’s because, traditionally, you needed at least 15% free space on a drive so Windows could defragment it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Purpose of a Hard Drive The capacity of a hard drive won’t have any performance effect on your computer, unless the disk is nearly full, in which case it can cause some problems. If you have a 250GB hard drive, for example, it’s wise to leave around 10 to 15% of storage free.

Detailed explanation-4: -Microsoft used the update to increase the Windows 10 installation size from 16GB for 32-bit and 20GB for 64-bit to 32GB for both versions. The drastic increase in size relates to an alteration to the Windows 10 update process.
