40MB Hard Drive, only $40,000! (Fixed Loop)

Created on: January 14th, 2006

Created By:

Domain:

fourtymegfourtygrand.ytmnd.com

Description:

To answer the often-repeated question, the 6gb drive in the back is a flash drive, which is actually very tiny, hence the price tag. Thanks to MasterSitsu for helping with the fixed loop!

Notice the magnifying glass? Whatever that 6GB drive is, it's very small. Can't make it out in this picture though. Flash memory, maybe, like Ministry said. And, uh, not Capt. Murphy.

Ha ha... well the average price for hardrive space today is in the area of 1 dollar per gigabyte. So in today's pricing the memory of that 40mb harddrive is worth 4 cents. That means today it costs 0.0001% of its original cost

sheldon is dumb. "that episode"? of sealab? The song is from the early 80's. LaCie's terrabyte drives are usually 2 drives in a single external case... but there are drives much much bigger not aimed at the consumer.
