Seagate has introduced the Exos M series, a range of enterprise-grade mechanical hard drives available in 30TB and 32TB capacities. The two models, the 30TB CMR ST30000NM004K and the 32TB SMR ST32000NM003K, each offer a minimum of 3TB per disk and use a standard 3.
My dad had a 286 with a 40MB hard drive in it. When it spun up it sounded like a plane taking off. A few years later he had a 486 and got a 2gb Seagate hard drive. It was an unimaginable amount of space at the time.
The computer industry in the 90s (and presumably the 80s, I just don’t remember it) we’re wild. Hardware would be completely obsolete every other year.
It really was doubling in speed about every 18 months.
