my first HDD was a whopping 40MB big (you could fit sooo many floppys on that!), weighed 10 pounds and was about the size of a watermelon. when starting wing commander i could determine - by the noises the motors in that thing made - at what point of the loading i was (like an acoustic progress bar lol).
The first HDD I ever bought was an 80 GB Maxtor. I have games now that wouldn’t even fit on that drive.
