I saw an 8 terabyte regular hard drive the other day. It was at $279. Western Digital.
20 years ago I thought I was a hot sh#t buying a 10GB IBM hard drive at the same $279 price and the US dollar was worth at least 2.5 times as much back then.

We built 7ft high storage cabinets that were 8GB fully loaded. That was a few years ago but it is impressive to watch the storage capacity increase so dramatically.
