It’s incredible how much the prices have fallen and that’s how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.

The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it’s a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it. I guess that’s what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.

    Ram is $50/mb, HDD $1/mb.

    A blank CD-R is $10, but stores as much as 400 floppies!

      But you also need to purchase a CD drive which is another $15 making it more expensive than a 128 GB SSD.

        I think a 128MB CF drive would have cost $thousands in 1996.
