"Every Hard Drive I've Owned Has Been Larger Than All My Previous Ones Combined"

In my case, my spinning disks expanded approximately 4x each time I upgraded:

1.2 GB Hard Drive in a Performa from Sears

4 GB HD in a self-build AMD K2 tower

20 GB HD in a Dell laptop

80 GB HD in a PowerBook G4

that I upgraded to an SSD

For SSDs, the journey was not linear and my drive capacity did not expand every time:

256 GB SSD in the first retina MBP

512 GB SSD in 11" MBA

256 GB SSD in a 12" MacBook

1 TB SSD in a MacBook Pro

Even with the last 1 TB SSD upgrade, it doesn't add up to all the drives before (~1.13 TB)

BeetleB•4mo ago
Heh. I must confess that one of the reasons I don't buy SSDs is it's a lot more expensive to maintain this invariant!
leakycap•4mo ago
I still have no SSDs in servers for this reason, although the time has arrived.

Out of all the computers I've owned, the 1TB model has been the most enjoyable because I've been able to keep everything I want in one place. I think storage space is important to upgrade next time I buy, as well.

I started with that one , too

1 GB Hard Drive in a Performa from Circuit City

wrt the topic, Kurzweil's exponential "Law of Accelerating Returns" used disk space vs. dollars over years as one of his predictive analysis metrics. Haven't looked into his stuff in years, so not sure how it has all turned out.
