You could try out some new distros, or use it as a backup drive.

Don`t ask questions like that on the internet.......you`re asking for trouble.

Back some stuff up or something.

I store my Virtualbox VDI images and snapshots on it, which are about 15GB a piece. Keeps me from having to reinstall and configure my virtual OS's should I decide to delete my partition table and start over from scratch.

Rip and Encode every DVD you can lay your hands on. I'm at about 150GB at this stage, with each DVD ~1GB each :)

Whatever you put on it, it'll be 1s and 0s.

If you have to ask that......... why did you buy it?
Or, if you had stuff on it before:

Rip your music CD's, backup your DVD's, download some stuff and store it on the HDD, etc. If you don't have any ideas yourself why not donate it to some FOSS people?
