Newbie Naive question

When I finally go down the digital download highway, I will obviously have a computer (laptop).
Those of you who have started to download DSD files, those files where the recording was done in native DSD, and stayed that way.
Here's the question?; How many mb? bits of information will be downloaded onto my hard drive?. Let's assume the duration of the song/album being equal (using the same song/album would obviously be the ideal).

Why I ask?. If an album occupies 100mb of space, no matter how great the sampling etc. rate/speed, there is still only 100mb of 'music'. If an album occupies 500mb of space, there is more 'music' for the DAC to extract.

It is my understanding that DSD files that stayed native, are larger than PCM.
