Yeah, it's crazy. Back when I was with DEC I worked with systems that had drives the size of washing machines holding a few hundred megabytes. We even had some some "cheap" 14" drives with removable packs (RL01 and RL02) that weighed nearly 75 pounds, mounted in a 19" rack, and held a whopping 5 or 10 Megabytes. (Photo is of a 5MB RL01.) These were frequently found on PDP-11 minicomputers used by small businesses prior to PCs becoming mainstream.
The stuff we have today is like crazy science fiction right out of the year 2000.
