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.
