I don’t think you can write about new hard drives without mentioning your own anecdote that goes something like this “I remember when I bought a 10MB hard drive for my IBM PC back in 1982 . .” blah blah blah.
Well, in fact, I did buy a 10MB hard drive for my IBM and remember hurriedly trying to install it into the chassis. Back then it wasn’t about going from 1TB to 2TB – it was about going from Cassette to Hard Drive!
Ars Technica has a good write up on some new 2TB drives (with obligatory reminiscing).
