And to think at one time I thought having a pair of double-density 5.25-inch, 180k Percom floppy drives was a big deal!

My 1989 Pinnacle 3000 Graphics and Animation Box (Tips and Topaz) according to the salesman had the largest Hard drive that you would ever need,,,, a 100mb MFN drive, it didn’t have alot of bytes but it was really big.

In 1996 we had the largest Media 100 system in the world with a whopping 40GB of storage. Media 100 would have potential customers call us to confirm that we had “all of that storage” and “what are you doing with all of that?” Now iPods have more room.

LOL…! We had the same system and the same thing happened to us!

I can remember my family’s computer in 1986 being a Compaq 286 with 4 meg of RAM and 20 meg hard drive. WOW!

Wayne,

Double LOL, in 1988 I bought a Mac Plus, (B&W, 8″ screen, no hard drive) and a 20 meg hard drive that I thought was huge, all for a whopping $2 THOUSAND!

I was mostly a print guy then, remember sitting with damn little thing learning Quark Xpress on weekends!

Thanks for the tip DRW.

I’m saving up for one of these.

On this subject, our company needed to purchase a few travelling firewire drives and I wanted to get the word out there on what is working best. We had some LaCie’s–20% died in a year. G Raid has been nothing but trouble (we don’t travel with these) though very highly recommended. Heard OWC drives were highly rated at the moment.

Anyone have an opinion?

Like you buy a printer and keep buying cartridges when it is empty,
you can keep using the same chassis and buy additional trays/drives from them.
swap out the drives, archive them then buy new trays from caldigit. virtually you have unlimited capacity.

the cooling system is also very important. Keep it in mind, HEAT is DEATH to drive, you need a good fan or cooling system to keep drives cool 🙂

and the price is very attractive.
