(your hard drive story is the story of my life, up to about 10 years ago. I have eliminated all but one hard drive from my house and that one doesn't spin most of the time)

Lately my vendor discussions have centered around how much work you can get done with a machine that has half a terabyte of RAM, 96 cores, and 8 NVME SSDs (it's a lot). my college box: 40MB disk, 4MB RAM, 1 66MHz CPU.
