18TB disk for $220.

Darn.

The first real big disk I bought was 20 GB. We thought we'd never fill it.

My first HD was 40MB. And what an advancement it was over floppies. It certainly cost a lot more than $220 in 2024 dollars.

@J12t The first HD I had was a "Winchester". It was a 10 meg drive that was way better than the 5.25 inch 360k floppies that were $10 each.

@J12t yeah, I remember the "never gonna fill it" feeling at 800mb. Which did get eaten up fairly quickly but compared to the 40 it seemed extravagant
