We have definitively come a long way. 14 years later and we all have at least 14 times that in our Computers. (1tb)

 

 

The IBM Deskstar 75GXP, which was unveiled on March 15, 2000. has 75 gigabytes of space, or more than 10 times the capacity of the hard drive found in the average PC. Operating at 7,200 r.p.m. it can store the same amount of data as 18 DVDs, 159 music CDs, or a stack of documents 2 miles high.

My drive in 2001 was 20GB, which was huge at the time and extremely expensive.

That was an upgrade from my 500MB hard drive in 1995, and the 50MB hard drive in 1987
