Every time I see an article like this, I have to restrain myself from posting a "I remember when..." comment about my first computer.

@ DSTARR3
I must be getting old, because I remember when the first computer I built only had a 3.2GiB EIDE drive.
In fact, it was not for quite a few years that they even made drives as large as this MicroSD card 😛

Other than the excessive pricing, these defiantly look interesting.
For anyone who has a large music library or travels often and wants to bring loads of FHD media with them, they look to offer great competition to the Samsung offerings.

I still remember working with 5 1/4" floppies and a 12.4 md hard drive.

*3 hours after beginning instillation

'Insert disk 14 and press enter to continue'
'Disk error detected, press enter to cancel instillation'

Ah, the good old days 😉

40MB IDE drive, was as big as a brick and weighed as much

Here's a video about tearing down a hard drive from the 1980s, a 10mb hard drive that weighs 80 pounds and cost $250,000. Looks like a bloody lawn mower engine, lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBjoWMA5d84

@OUTLW6669:

This happened to a friend of mine when reinstalling Windows 3.11 from floppies only to push the computer's power button instead of the eject button. That culprit was me. lol

LOL my first was a 20Kb of RAM Vic 20 😛 First REAL computer was an 8086 640K RAM, with 5.25" floppy, and a 30 Meg HD. I upgraded that puppy to 1.6 MB of RAM, the 8087 Co-Processor, and a VGA video adapter.
