Hard Drives the unsung Hero

Posted by geeknews at 11:08 AM on May 27, 2004

I had to smile today. Sitting on my shelf of memorabilia is a 65 meg RLL Hard-drive that I payed $465.00 for back in the mid 80’s. I was the top dog on the block and all of my buddies and I marveled at how we would every fill it up. Little did I know that in 1993 I would layout $1056.00 for a 1.6 Gig drive.
I have been kicking myself in the butt every since. But luckily the days of over-priced hard-drives are long gone. The history of the Hard-Drive is an amazing one. [CNet]
