It all depends on how much stuff you have on the hard drive. But like Neph says it's good practice to upgrade the hard drive once there's less than 25% remaining.

And to make my post more believable, here's a picture of a hot chick:

Ugh. Reading this at work (hey, it's Friday!) and that pic pops up. Not cool, especially because this is the hardware forum. Some kind of warning would have been appreciated.
