That’s a lot of pr0n.

I remember my first hard drive was 200 megs.

[wally_bert]

I’ll buy Western Digital. Seagate and Maxtor drives never seemed to last as long.

[GeronL]

wow

[GeronL]

my first was 100 mb and it was a 25 mhz processor

[dfwgator]

“That’s more storage than anyone will ever need.”

[Obadiah]

Maybe Seagate should announce that they’re developing a hard drive that will last longer than 6 months.

[livius]

And that was a big one in those days...

[Paladin2]

Why would any one need more than 640 MB?

[Obadiah]

Seriously, my first computer I had built for me cost $2,200 and I paid EXTRA to go with a 40 MB hard drive rather than the standard 20 MB drive.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

I suppose the question needs to be asked: why are there still hard drives?

[Starstruck]

I remember my first hard drive was 200 megs.

120 here for my first PC. Intel 33 processor, 4meg Ram. $2500.

LOL......

Nice to have some History Buffs around here.

Just bought a western Digital 3 $b drive that rotates at...intellipower...( slower than 7200 rpm )-- at Micro Center on special for $109.

running it with a Kingston SSD holding the OS and a /Home on the WD .

[GeronL]

lolz

[matt04]

Heh. I prefer WD drives.

My first hard drive was 40 meg. If you swapped the MFM controller out for RLL you could sometimes get about 60 meg out of it.

[holden]

The first one I owned (in 1980) was a 10MB built into an Olivetti M1, but I remember seeing one at an NCC in New York (1977?) that was the first 2MB drive (for microcomputers). It was encased in a plastic shell and appeared to be made of two 8” platters.

I remember Ohio Scientific sold a 74MB hard drive on a 30” rack together with a Challenger 3 for about $11K in 1978.
