Wow, just wow.
Way back in the stone ages when DOS 3.0 was new, I bought my first hard drive. It was HUGE, and stored 10 Megabytes of data. I figured I would never fill that up. I was somewhat mistaken in that belief.
I am initializing the RAID 5 setup on my new machine. It will have a total of 15,626,782 Megabytes of storage. 15 million MB on my computer. If I could travel back in time to talk to the nerd installing a 10 MB drive and I tried to tell him that someday you have have 15 million MB that 1980s nerd would laugh and say BS! To think I would have 1.5 million times more storage on my home PC is mind boggling. And that does not count the paltry pair of two TB hard M.2 sold state drives. So I guess I have 17 TB of room total on this system, and room for more!
That same 1980s nerd also installed the RAM expansion card to get my computer all the way to the max, 640K of RAM. 256 Gig would not even be something I could have understood.
And the difference between the 8086 4.77 MHz CPU and the i9 18 core CPU is so far apart as I can't quantify it. That nerd is still building computers all these years later.
