[Ornery]

Maxtor 120MB, which was a HUGE step up from the 10MB unit we had been using. At that time I was using a PC at work, that operated with two 5.25" floppies, and no HDD at all.

Double height takes up 4 bays. Full height takes up 2 bays. Half height takes up 1 bay. Our modern opticals are half-height.

Don't ask why, I don't know.

When I upgraded to my 486, I had one and then two 40mb drives.

Then I got a 210mb drive.

Then 2.5gb.

Then 18gb.

Then 45gb.. lol

Funny thing is, it still works perfectly. Don't make 'em like they used to.

Leading Edge brand machine. 4.7MHz processor. 20MB drive. 640K ram. $2,200 price tag (which sadly I paid for myself).

No, they certainly don't. I have a 420mb Seagate with the cover pried off sitting on my desk being used as a coaster. If I plugged it in, it'd probably still work 😛

40MB in a 286 here. That wasn't my first _computer_, but it was the first HDD.

 

[mugs]

First computer didn't have a hard drive; second computer had 20 MB.

 

[Vortex22]

I have a REALLY old hard drive in my room... it is just a single platter that is a little bit bigger than a record. I have no idea where it came from or how big it is.

Edit: I just dug it out of the back of my closet. It is actually 4 big platters sitting in this case. It says "3M Scotch 939 80A" on it.

 

[Philippine Mango]

14MB HDD in a IBM 8088. Next one was in a 486 about 20MB-100MB. Then another was a pentium no clue (family got rid of system because they thought it was infected by a trojan when it was really I deleted the windows directory :Q "I was only trying to save space!" Then 3GB in HP P200 Desktop, 2.1GB in Fujitsu Laptop (1997). And it continues from there...
