    Can't really remember how much space it was, but I do remember that when I installed Windows 3.1 on it... just left me with not enough space to install Wolfenstein 3d

    The earlier home computers I don't remember, I was too young. The first one I had all to myself and didn't have to share had 4GB IIRC.

    In the first gaming computer my Dad built me I had a 120GB in 2005.

    I had a P4 powered PC in '01 or '02, no idea what size drive that had as I was only 9 or 10 at the time I got it.

    My first hard drive was a 4gb effort, im pretty sure it was a Maxtor but not 100%....

    Back in my Amiga A600 days i always dreamed of buying a 20mb hard drive, but never got around to it :(

    Not sure how old people are....I am 50....just curious, as I see people mention some things and wonder how old they were.....

    First HD was a 20mb drive on a Zeos 386SX....around 1991....I was 26.

    The first hard drive I bought was for my Amiga 500 and it slotted onto the side, if I remember correctly. It was something like 80 MB or 160 MB capacity. My first PC hard drive in 1999 was something like 6 GB.
