    Yeah no doubt, a RAID would be more effective. But still a 256TB SSD is absolutely insane when you think about it, compared to where technology was 10 or 20 years ago.

      Hell, my first external drive was 120MB. That was to augment the storage of my 80GB internal drive.

        I remember when my family’s home PC had a 500 MB hard drive.

        And before then at school the old comps had no hard drive, just rom for the OS and a disk drive

        My first hard drive was 20 megabytes. That was considered hugely advanced… you couldn’t even boot from it, needed a boot floppy.
