The first hard drive I got had 20MB and it was glorious.
The first one I used was 5MB. The OS on the machine (a CP/M version) didn't know how to handle it, so it was partitioned as lots and lots of floppies. Not very useful.
Doesn't shit like this happen because Japan or some other country requires physical media back ups on floppy?
So I can boot up without a disk now?
My first was 500MB. I remember Stonekeep seemed enormous at 80MB.
My first computer didn't have a hard drive at all (Apple IIe).
I had a conspiracy theory that it's trying to communicate with me using morse code, but I was too lazy to learn it
Mine was 500 GB but that was in 2010.
