    Old story: There was a sale at a big box Electronics store on Seagate Barracuda SCSI-2 Wide 9.1GB drives and I bought 6 of them to give me a 40GB RAID-5 on an old mylex dac960 scsi raid card. Bigtime storage in 1999.

    Those fed my 3:1 ratio mp3 sharing site that my uunet bot advertised haha.

      That’s insane I absolutely love it. To put that in perspective, 1999 game storage requirements:

      • GTA 2, 70 MB
      • Quake III Arena, 70 MB
      • SimCity 3000, 230 MB
      • Everquest, 1 GB
