I remember my first 1 gig drive, it was a full height 5 1/4" external scsi, with the giant 50 pin cable. You could hear the seeks from other rooms.

- jnwatson 9y agoYou guys are making me feel old. My father bought my first 20 MiB hard drive used for close to $1000. It was the size of a VCR and sounded like a jet engine.

- rootusrootus 9y agoI once had a Miniscribe 40MB drive that would actually cause the desk to visibly shake when you were reading & writing to it.
- basicplus2 9y agoMy first HDD was 5mb and it would shake the desk from inside the XT computer too :)
