When I retired from the "mainframe" world, some of the largest disk farms had just begun to top a terabyte of storage. The farm took up almost an entire floor in the building.

The other day, in Costco, I passed a display of a 750 gigabyte drive, in a blister pack no less, for about $350!! That's 3/4 of a terabyte. Yikes....I'm old.
