You mean 10Gb drive right? In 1990 a 500Mb hard drive was a big deal.
My first PC had about that and it was bigger than anything we had at work.
A few years later, they bought a PC with a multi-tB drive to do some finite element analysis. They even hired a guy just to run it.
I had a Windows 95 machine with a 2GB hard drive and I was stoked that it came with a 28.8 dial-up modem. A coworker told me I’d never exceed the storage capacity. LOL
In 1989 a 60MB hard drive cost approximately $500 in 1989 dollars. I worked in a computer lab at a local college and the PCs that we maintained for the students used each had 10MB hard drives.
IBM Model 350 Hard Drive from 1956 being unloaded from an airliner with a forklift. It had a whopping 5MB of Data Storage! Who could ever need that much fast access storage space?
Probably means 10mb. I had a 20mb drive in my first computer that I bought myself in 92. I probably could have bought a car instead of a 500mb drive.
My first ‘puter had a whopping 40 MB hard drive. My second had 100MB. 1 GB drives were not even available yet.
In 1981 a 10MB was a big deal. And big bucks.

The PC I bought in January 1990 had a 48MB hard drive. When I killed it a few years later (1994) I replaced it with a 270MB hard drive because they had just broken the $1/MB price barrier.
