My first 13 year old SSD from back in 2010

Just logged into my old computer shop account in the States for the first time in over a decade, not sure if I can state the name, but I'm a chicken, so I won't say.

Anyway, point is I thought it was pretty neat to see what I paid for a 60GB SSD back then, not even enough to install windows 11 as a boot disk these days

Funny compared to the 1TB, 2TB and 4TB+ drives you see now!

So I paid $2 per GB for that SSD. That would have made a 1TB drive cost $2k, a 2TB drive cost $4k or a 4TB $8k

£7k for that 18TB! Didn't realise they were even available back in 2007, probably just blanked that out due to the ludicrous price!

EDIT: I'm an idiot, I figured that must have been 18TB, but nope, it is 18GB

Tell me about it!
This was my next order after the SSD. Can we get $50 graphics cards back please?!
