I just got a TB for $115.

At one point (not all that long ago) I was responsible for a computing center that supported about 150 people in an engineering and manufacturing facility. It was VAX/VMS, for those old enough to remember. I bought 4 new disk drives, 1 GB each, for the low, low price of $10,000 each. It was a major upgrade. After we moved all 150 people onto the drives, they were about 1/3 full, and we felt like we were living large.
