Yeah, it's crazy. When I was doing my first sys admin job it was on a
Masscomp that had a 40MB disk for 20 people. We made it work.
I believe someone announced a 40TB SSD, nope, just looked, Seagate announced
a 60TB SSD in 2016. WTF, that's a huge drive for rotating, that's insane
for SSD.
We old farts live in interesting times.
