It may not sound like much, but my new 320 Gb* hard drive will sure relieve the pressure on my existing 40 Gb drive. It was sure starting to get cramped in there.

*Note: When it says 320 Gb, what it really means is the "new and improved" Gigabyte, which has been pared down to match the actual metric unit. In terms of the base 2 units computer users have been used to since the 1960s, it is only 298 Gb.

:o Daaaaaaang? Where in teh zorch did ya get that from? and for what price? Man, I wish I had that much, I have about that same amount of space on my 2 laptops and my Pc combined! And all of its filled with junk! Whoo, this ought to be a fresh start. Organize everything, label it correctly, and keep it that way! (I tried to do this on my PC, ended up just making a few copies of files....)

$85.00 plus tax at a local place that sells a lot of OEM and other computer junk cheap.

I am going to have to convince my sister to get one for my niece's computer. Her drive is completely full.

Wow that's a pretty big hard drive.

Something like that would probably make Windows 3.1 explode. :P How much space did computers have back then? Was it like 8 MB or something?

no...my old 3.1 (well, dos for a month, then 3.1, then win 95 with out a hard drive change) was holding an average of 30 25mb and up programs with at least 5 gigs left, and a brochure for old computers that I held on to said the lowest was 2 gigs in 1993.

letsee.... my family's old Digital Starion tower from '94-'95 had a 1 Gig hard drive, and that was top of the line back then.

8 MB was more back in the '80's, though to be truthful it was more in the RAM department since most home computers didn't have a hard drive back then.

My first hard back in 1992 was 105 Megabytes.
