Thorin Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I remember buying a new PC with a 1GB HDD and thinking it would take me ages to fill that. Then when I did fill it I bought a second 1GB disc and thought it was overkill Although games only filled 2 or 3 floppy discs at most then...

Ain't that the truth, I had the old MFM 20mb disk which was huge, I ended up juggling 720KB discs with less used info... now I have 1.5TB and I juggle DVD's instead (same old same old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaoriFan Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I remember buying a new PC with a 1GB HDD and thinking it would take me ages to fill that. Then when I did fill it I bought a second 1GB disc and thought it was overkill Although games only filled 2 or 3 floppy discs at most then... lol, i know the feeling on that, when i first got mp3s i thought 1GB was fine, how wrong i was. 1GB HD so big in size, compared to the 5 and 10MB ones of early IBM PC days, hehe. my first HD i bought on its own was 40MB. ja ne Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Its cool to see but the review isn't particulalrly favourable, especially as 2 500 gig drives are less money and would be faster if set up right. I expect when other start producing them the cost will drop and it will be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I had an Amiga 1200 with a 120MB HDD, that was massive at the time In fact I've still got it at my mum's house... must sort out the spare bedroom and set it up in there along with my Panasonic 3DO for some retro gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Not impressed with Toms hardware reviews these days, Anandtech have a review of the drive and also tests running it in RAID0... http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=2949 http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=2969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schtuv Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 lol just thinking about it, my first pc had 120mb hdd! tiny. Sheesh ... my first PC (Commodore PC-I with an 8088 processor) came with a low density 5.25".

Jake Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 My first PC had a 20mb hard disk. I upgraded it to a massive 340mb one which cost me £340. We were like "I can't believe hard disks have got so cheap. One pound per megabyte is sooo cheap, I'll never fill it!" Nowadays you can get a hard disk a thousand times the size of that old 340meg one for like £60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh those times to load games like "Tomahawk" I had to wait like 30 minutes and pray noone will shut doors too strong or stomp Now that I remember, the ZX81 and spectrums, it took me ages to find a good decent tape player for it which had a big pause button specially for some of this games... it was a fine art to loading a game, a paitent process for 10 painful minutes...
