Now for a little over $100 you can buy a drive that is 200x the capacity of the fully loaded rack mount storage cabinet that we were working on.

As part of my home backup system I have a USB3 dock that I insert 3TB 'naked' drives for semi-weekly backups that go into my gunsafe (lost the guns in a boating accident) for rotation. Each 3TB has cost me from $200 to a decreasing basis of about $100. My first IBM PC had a 20MB HD Card that cost $800 and was cheap to IBM's HDs.

Lol.

Our first computer, a 286, cost us $2000. We financed it.

Helped my wife study for college. I used it for video games and programming. :)

Caught flack from the guys at work (at DEC). They were convinced that I was a fool. “Why would anyone want a computer in their home.”
