My first Hardrive was the GVP Impact II. The best hardrive you could get for the CBM Amiga 500. It had 48Mb of disk space and i had 2 Meg of fast ram expansion pack that was never ever used. Cost a whopping £400 way back in 1991. Playing Monkey Island 1 and 2 on here was worth it alone considering Monkey Island 2 came on 11 Floppys. Dragons Lair was another that benefitted.
8.4 gigs Maxtor Diamondmax in a 1998 or 99 vintage desktop custom built by a company in California called NuTrend. The system also had a Pentium III 450mhz CPU, An ATI Rage Fury 32mb video card, 64mb RAM, and a Soundblaster PCI 128 sound card. The MB was a Diamond Flower model. All top end or near top end stuff at the time. I never even filled that HDD half way. It ran Windows 98SE.
2.5gb back in '95 or so. Made me realize that now I have over 2.5tb(terabytes) of total internal storage. 1000 times more! SSD 250gb Samsung 850EVO SSD 240gb PNY CS1111 SSD 120gb Kingston v300 HDD 2000gb Toshiba DT01ACA200
This is my very first drive. Don't know why I'm still clinging on to it though http://imgur.com/SWe2cuu
I'm pretty sure it was 25 MB. On an IBM 486 SX with 2 MB RAM. My friend had a 386 SX (IBM too) and our computer felt so "fast" in comparison... Never had other computers before that one, we (our family) waited for quite some time before finally deciding to get a PC.
Me the first HDD that I have ever used was one of them HDD on a card for the Tandy 1000 and it was a 40mb drive too and man that thing was expensive at the time. Then I used drives that went all over the capacity spectrum.
My first non hard drive storage units were the cassette and floppy drive add ins to the Commodore 64.
I think my first hard drive was 10MB - but prior to that I had cassettes and 5¼ inch floppies without a hard drive.
The first machine I used in business had two floppy drives...pretty much it. Personal computer...first drive was a Western Digital 20 mb. Upgraded to a whopping 40 mb with Conner
