100 isnt bad at all for a 160gb, is it new? 5400 or 7200 rpm?
on average Id say you could get 22-25 backup games on a 80gb hard drive, so on a 160, expect to double it plus maybe a little more. Id say you would EASILY get 50 backups on it.
emulators etc dont take up that uch room really, I have my emu on e:/ and backups and apps on f:/

You dont really need to lock it anyway if you are not going on live. a 5400rpm would be better cause off less heat, 7200rpm is said to produce to much heat but ppl have different opinions on this.
