I have 2 2T drives and 2 4T drives and just ordered another 4T. But I do remember purchasing my first 5M hard drive (5 1/4", 1U tall, SASI interface (predicessor to SCSI, just used 2 parallel ports to get enough data lines to drive it). But that went with my 2 double sided double density 8" floppys, paper tape reader and punch (high speed! Whoop!). All that before I built my 300baud DC Hayes modem board for my S100 based machine. ... Yes, I did ride dinosaurs up hill both ways to school when growing up!
