I remember my first hard drive was 200 megs.

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

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

Why would any one need more than 640 MB?

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.

I suppose the question needs to be asked: why are there still hard drives?
To: BulletBobCo
I remember my first hard drive was 200 megs.120 here for my first PC. Intel 33 processor, 4meg Ram. $2500.

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.

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.
