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. --lm
