“Nobody will ever need more than 64K!”
You mean 10Gb drive right? In 1990 a 500Mb hard drive was a big deal.
You can already get a 2TB USB drive on ebay. I have 2 of them. Smaller profile than the device pictured in the article.
They always tell us the new tech offers more than we will ever need then we use it all up anyway.
I can hear my future grandkids asking why we only had USB drives with 1 TB.
I am still waiting to get the laser pistol that was on my lunchbox in 1974.
I don't want an "enormous" 2 TB USB Drive! I want a teensy-weensy one that will fit, e.g., into my breast pocket.
Regards,
I wonder if Hillary or the DNC have one?
“2 TB USB Drive Can Hold Everything You Need and More?”
No, not for some. I have a project that will likely exceed that by the end of this year.
failure and or corruption rate of thumb drives is quite high really- might be better of getting an external USB wired drives as a secondary backup just incase too- plus they are quite a bit faster transfr rate than thumb drives i believe-
I paid $2,500 to replace the 11 Meg hard drive on my Zenith 8 Bit CPM/ 16 Bit Dos computer back in the early 1980’s.
It was the top of the line prior to IBM and Apple.
Baby Boomer. I remember putting in the first 10Mb hard drives in an expansion slot and thinking no one would ever use all of this. I can tell you right now the statement that 2Tb is more than anyone can use totally false.
A year from now one of these puppies will be left behind on a park bench by some bureaucrat....
LOL! Yeah right until the programmers make their programs bigger.
For the record, I have a 2 TB internal drive and 3 additional flash drives (,2, 1 and 1 TBs). Haha!
Most are maxed out with the exception of the new 2 TB internal that I have plenty of space.
For the record, the new drives get filled up quick when you carry information over from your previous computer.
Computer geezer ping.
My first computer was an Apple Performa 405. I think it had 16 MHz speed,
4 MB of Ram, 256k of VRAM, and 80 MB of hard drive space. It was a hand-me down from my son. When I upgraded a few years later, I gave it back to him and it was still working.
In the late 1990’s we had a race at work to see who would get the first 1 gig hard drive. For sure no one would ever be able to fill a 1 gig hard drive. That was the thoughts in the 1990’s. I bet a 1 TB drive will be laughed at by 2030 if not sooner.
I finally had to switch from a 16 gig iPhone to a 32 gig.
My first computer had 8k of core memory (70’s era IBM 360/20). Our storage devices were 80 column punch cards. Upgraded a couple years later to an IBM System/3 that had two 2.5 mb disk drives (one removable), with 96 column punch cards for input. Now that was a big deal.
Obviously they don't know my pr0n stash.
(That's a joke.....Really!)
Must be a relative of the guy that proclaimed that "Everything that can be invented has been invented."
I just kicked up the HD in my Win10 machine from 1 to 2TB using a docking station.
my first color dell laptop, 100MB - HUGE
