[dba-Tech] What, you don't even have a Terabyte?

[Gustav Brock]

Hi John

Beyond imagination, I would say. 

As you, I recall the full-height 5.25" drives for the IBM XT. However, I have had a couple of Fujitsu drives the same physical size but with a capacity of ... 5 MB! 

Think about it: 1 mio. of these drives (and a transformer station outside your building) to match today's drive.

Rotating media is like Silicon and Moore's law.  They keep saying that
we are now pushing the boundaries... and then another ten years pass...
