IBM 3380, 1979 to 1986. Max'ed out at 5.01Gb.
And the price for this monster:
Depending on the features selected, purchase prices at announcement for the 3380 Model A DASDs (Controllers) ranged from $97,650 to $142,200 (the price of a house here in San Jose at the time). Lease charges ranged from $2,170 to $3,713 a month. Model B devices could be purchased for $81,000 or $111,600, or leased for $1,800 or $2,480 a month.
I worked in the Media fab, then in the Box Test area and finally in Development back when these were new.
