Hard drives, then and now. |
The first hard drive I bought was about $2500.00 and five Mb.
Over the week end I bought a 200 Gb drive for $40.00 after rebates.
Good thing I waited as 200Gb back then would have cost me $100,000,000.00

Not to mention the power supply to run all those drives and the air
conditioning to keep them from melting down.

Very little of Microsoft's bloatware existed in 1982, so a 200GB drive
wasn't necessary.
