Do you remember hemming and hawing about the $300 involved in upgrading
from a 10MB disc driver to a 20MB one. Years later, $150 upgrade from a
3GB hdd to a 6GB one. I haven't checked but one can probably buy a 1 TB
HDD today for well under $100.


The 20MB, yes I do. $300 MFM and RLL drives, and most all of them
after. I'll consider a 1T solid state for the next drive in this
computer.

I didn't hem-haw a bit when putting the operating systems on a primary
64G Samsung SSD into the 8-core build. Beyond which, the fact that
the MB's got 6 SATA ports makes me want to wiggle my toes and
say...oh, hell yes.
