Ran across this jpeg looking at some old photos for the meme thread.

Amazing how much cheaper computer memory has become, you can get a 2 terabyte solid state hard drive for around $100. 2,000,000 megabytes in 2 terabytes.

In 1984, I was very happy to have work provide me with my first hard drive. It was 7MB + 3MB removable platter. The whole unit was the size of small top loading washing machine. The removable platter was top loaded.

not only the cost of computer equipment has come down .... the size has shrunk considerably as well

I remember the first hard drives that had removable platters. They held 1 MB and were larger than a Thanksgiving dinner platter, and heavier than the turkey that went on it.

Now a couple hundred GB fit on a micro SD about a quarter the size of your thumbnail. All for the price of a dinner for two.

I bought a 20 meg hard card for work computer (I think around $800) and wondered what I was going to do with all that space.
