I installed one of these monstrous drives in one of my machines tonight. I don’t know what to make of an 80 Gbyte disk drive costing about $1.00 a Gigabyte when I can recall paying $20.00 a Megabyte once upon a time. What’s the price/performance rule on storage? Is it like Moore’s Law, where a given amount of storage will both half in price and improve in speed every 18 months?
The hardware fairy returns later this week with 2 64 Mb DIMMs for this resource-challenged webserver . . .
