Harddrive prices continue to blow me away.
So I was surfing to find if any of the websites I like to buy from had the new 500gb drives from Hitachi, when I found a Western Digital 320GB drive for $151.99.
I spent $400 on my first harddrive back in19901989. It was a 40 megabyte drive for my new PS/2 Model 25 that I had won in some IBM drawing.
Price per gigabyte of harddrive in19901989: $10,000.00
Price per gigabyte of harddrive in 2005: $0.475
Damn!!
Update on September 2nd, 2005:
