Hard Disk

MultiTouch CornerStone SDK takes less than 100MB of disk space, while the run-time takes less than 15MB. The 3rd party support libraries and possible developer tools take easily 2-4GB hard-disk, which is still very little compared to the volume of modern hard-disks.

The size requirements of the hard-disk depend entirely on the application needs, and unless there is a specific reason to get a large hard-disk one can simply buy a normal hard-disk in the 240-500GB range.

Some applications may have special requirements for the hard-disk. For example a video-intensive application might require a RAID stack to be able to feed the video data from the hard disk fast enough for the graphics. In these cases there is no general rule, but one needs to judge the performance requirements based on the applications.
