A Revolution in Hard Drive Technology

November 5, 2007 by Kiltak |

Priced at a measly $3398, this 10 MB hard drive offers a particularly attractive cost per MB ratio. Please note that the 5 megabytes version is also available for $2898. Quantity discounts are available for those of you who wish to purchase more than one unit :) .

As someone that once paid almost $2,000 for a 5MB hard disk, this brings back some good memories…

Now you can get gigs of memory on a thumb drive. That blows my mind.

it’s amazing how far we’ve come and how much prices have gone down. even the size of these drives have been significantly reduced over the years.

Way back in the early 80s this man came to my high school with a 10″ diameter metal thing that looked like an unexploded land mine. It was black, about 4 or 5 inches thick, if I recall correctly, and had a removable cover, and probably weighed about seven or eight pounds. He said it was a hard drive and its memory capacity was 2.5 Mb. We were stunned: What was a Megabyte, anyway? Unfathomable then. Our 5 1/4″ floppies only held 150 kilobytes — if they worked. Though this was an improvement over the 10″ Floppy. Anyway, the man said, “Some day, these things will hold 10 megabytes’ worth of data.” We laughed at the man. 10 megabytes? Like we’d ever need that much…
