Finally, a hard drive with the capacity to install more than 2 AAA game titles at once.
When I bought my first PC about 1982. The seller told me that I would never live long enough to fill up the 10MB drive. I still bought the 40MB drive and it was still too small.
I think you might be off by a few years at least, a 40MB drive in 1982 would’ve been incredibly uncommon.
Idk man.
In the 1980s 8-inch drives used with some mid-range systems increased from a low of about 30 MB in 1980, to a top-of-the-line 3 GB in 1989.

Seems like 30MB wasn’t horribly uncommon in “mid-range systems” in 1980, so I doubt that 40MB in 1982 would’ve been “incredibly uncommon.”
But I’ve no personal experience from the time.
“Mid-range systems” is not referring to personal computers. “8-inch drives” is another clue.
Awesome can’t wait til they’re cheap so I can replace my many hard drives with just one much larger one.
Make sure you buy two of them so you’ve got a backup. I’m uncomfortable storing 16TB worth of data on one drive, no way am I putting 32TB of anything I give a shit about onto one drive.
If you have 20TB of data to store, a single drive is safer than splitting it across multiple drives. Few point of failure in total.
If you are storing your own data a single drive is asking to lose all your data.
3 2 1 for all your important data.
This single point of failure equals to putting all of your eggs in the same basket.
If it’s split up sure, but I’m talking about a raid > 0 setup and/or having backup copies of your data onto drive #2
First, if you have more than one disk, you should be either getting redundancy through mirroring, or building arrays of several disks with redundant methods like RAID5 / RAID6 / ZFS zraid2.
Second, no single copy of data is safe, you must always have recent, tested backups.
Still not enough to hold all my porn.
Perhaps there are content provider. Shooting in RAW stakes of a lot of space.
No god, so how big is the new CoD going to be?
