- velodrome 10y agoI had one of a similar capacity. It weighed as much as a brick (perhaps more). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#/media/File:5.25_inch_MFM_hard_disk_drive.JPG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#/media/File:5....

- DougWebb 10y agoAbout 15 years ago, the company I worked for paid $1,000,000 for a 1TB disk array. Today I have several times that capacity laying around my apartment; I haven't even bothered to hook some of it up.
- mistermann 10y agoSame, I have 11 TB from boxing day sales sitting on a shelf.
- evgen 10y agoAs someone who installed a lot of NetApp filers back in the day that had 1T of storage each I would also point out that it took up the whole rack :) Yeah, back when the move from 9G to 18G drives in the array was a big deal...
- peter303 10y agoMy lab paid 35,000 for PDP 10mB disk in 1976. It was the size of a washing machine. But it did allow us to increase our research.
- DrScump 10y agoI paid something like $360 for a full-height 5.25" 30MB Seagate for my first HD (to add to my dual-floppy Zenith AT).
