Yeah, 30MB was considered large but not unheard of. You really paid through the nose for it, too.

I bought a 32 MB disk on a card in the late 1980s, probably 1987, for about $500. Now for that you can probably get either 500 GB or 1 TB - along with the computer attached to it.

i remember a college guy i knew, he couldn’t get a computer dealer to sell him a 100mb drive because ‘no one will ever fill up a 100mb drive’

Yep, they were quite expensive. Back in 1989 a 40 MB hard drive set me back about $370.
