Oklahoma City was the home of multiple companies building hard drives. MPI through several mergers and acquisitions became Seagate.

I was still working with a 32 MB hard drive in a PC At at work, and a 10 MB at home when Seagate came rolling in the front door with a box the size of a old washing machine, a huge box of floppies and one of the first 3.5 inch 1 GB hard drive. We shot photos of the huge stack of floppies to make a GB, the huge 1 GB box that had something like 20 inch platters, and the all new 1 GB 3.5 inch hard drive. I remember thinking I could never possibly fill up a 1 GB hard drive, and how many floppies it would take to back it up.

Right now my computer, that I type this on had two M/2 drives that are 2 TB each, and a RAID 5 drive that is 14 TB. I need to go delete some old projects on the RAID to clear off space as I only have 2 TB free right now.
