Anyone remember the olden days (i.e., the late ‘80s) when a 30mb hard drive was kind of a big deal? Crazy to see storage up one million-fold... in a smaller form factor.

30MB? 30MB? we used to dream of having 30MB. I had to save my programs on a cassette tape.

Anyone remember the olden days (i.e., the late 80s) when a 30mb hard drive was kind of a big deal? Yup. In early 1985, I bought a 20MB hard drive for $400 and my boss got pissed at me, because he bought a 5MB hard drive a year earlier for more than $400. A 20MB drive was huge! You could store a lot of 5-1/4 floppy disc content on it, either 360KB or 1.2MB in size.

And saved my programs to cassette multiple times to ensure that I could load them again.

In the ‘olden days’ there were no hard drives ...

in a smaller form factor.....
...With speeds that are unimaginably faster.
Something like this takes away the disk as the bottleneck, regardless of what you're trying to do with it.

Why does a SSD drive maintain data when powered off??
Is it a trickle voltage charged capacitor?? If so that still needs electrical power. How long will the data last?? A decade?? Longer??

Holy carp, that $3,495 is for a refurbished one. The new one (see the fine print) is $4,495. Let’s see, computer or car?

Hark Ernie. Hope all is well with you. Been a while.
I often will chuckle a bit as I go back in time when I stood
next to a physical/quantum chemist who shared an office with
my brother at Bell Labs Allentown works, as he tried to explain
to me why using the equations he had on his board, why no
one would ever break the 1 micron channel width size in CMOS
technologies.
What happened! : ) You take care. George

Tosh - my Apple /// Profile hard drive also cost $3,495 but with half the storage at 5 MB. The entire thing came filled up with an Apple promotional video featuring Dick Cavett. Deleted that right away.
I don't thick I ever fill the massive amount of storage doing mostly Quark word processing documents, Apple Basic programs, and 123 spreadsheets. The Apple /// was widely reviled but I loved mine. It was lightning fast at the above tasks, particularly the Quark word processor which was the best and by far the fastest on any PC.
