Now think about the amount of storage we will have 45 years from now.
I remember getting my first Seagate ST-225 21 MB (no not a typo) drive for $800.
I remember my parents taking us to the Gateway store, and the guy who helped us said something along the lines of “This PC has 12 gigs; you’ll never run out of space!”
Napster hit the scene within a few months. Started getting “low disk space!” warnings real quick.
Seagate 2TB bare drive: $70. When it’s not on sale. Which it is right now.
Price per GB: 3.5 cents
over $100 now. was about $55-60 a year ago. a 2tb today costs more than the ‘cheap’ smr 8tb drives i got ~ 18 months ago.
I once bought a 20MB HDD for about 1000.
Damn son!
