80K 5.25" floppy drives on the TRaSh-80. We had four drives, and a whopping 360K storage capacity. My dad ran a database off of that thing for his business, and we were constantly swapping disks to access different records. When we finally got a hard drive it was 5MB, and weighed about as much as a cinder block, but it was still a massive improvement at the time. I have no idea what it cost, but I'm quite sure it was way more than $120. Probably closer to $1000. ]]>Aug 5th 2010 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/Aug 10th 2010 1:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/Aug 12th 2010 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/Aug 3rd 2010 1:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/Aug 3rd 2010 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/Aug 3rd 2010 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/Aug 3rd 2010 1:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/Aug 3rd 2010 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/

2) Type in "2TB" in search
3) Notice that there have been five 2TB deals for less last month alone.

For Drives with this kind of capacity, it's pretty much a given. Problem, now is the the PC Bios has hit a wall. So when are the Motherboard mfrs. going to start shipping boards with (U)EFI so we can actually boot off partitions larger than 2TBs?]]>Aug 3rd 2010 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/Well, if you used a Linux-based distribution, you would know that all your OS has to do to negate this is set up two partitions: one with the boot information, and one that takes it from there. Pretty simple, I can tell ya. Now, if only Windows would do this...]]>Aug 4th 2010 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/Aug 3rd 2010 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/samsungs-faster-ecogreen-f4eg-hard-drive-does-2tb-for-less/-
I hope by 2011, there be 3TB for $150.. But it probably won't happen until Q4 of 2012..

Hard drive is still big like WindowsXP. SSD is still a baby, I'm guessing SSD will end its cycle when it reaches 20 or 30TB.
