I got a 256GB thumb drive at a pretty good price. You can get 3TB drives for a song these days (well, a relative song). No sense putting important stuff on old hardware.
I can remember when 40MB was a very large Hard Drive and an unimaginable amount of RAM.
The 2tb main drives (main and data) are what they classed as 'enterprise grade' but the failed one was just your common drive and was the data drive from the previous build so it had some operating hours on it.
Way back when in the days before MS-DOS 5 my office machine had a gigantic 15mb hard drive and monstrous 640mb of ram. (The machine actually had DOS 3.3 but I couldn't find a catchy video for it.. ;-)
I have a 3T slave that essentially contains everything I have written, seen or gotten from someone else. Periodically, I send stuff there, in the event of a crash in the laptop. Which has happened too much to be a coincidence.
