I recently stumbled upon this old advert for a 15-Megabyte Hard Disk Drive.
The thing that stood out the most was the sheer cost:
The drive plus installation kit would have set you back nearly $3,000, a cost of around $200 dollars per megabyte!
A modern 1 Terabyte drive (which is 1,000,000 megabytes) now works out at less than $0.07 per megabyte…
