Hard Drives: For Once, Something That’s Gotten Cheaper Over Time

Completely unlike the current housing market, the hard drive market is rife with huge, spacious products for prices that are far, far lower than they were a few years ago. Back in the 90’s, you could spend $500 on a 10GB hard drive and you’d think you were one savvy shopper. These days, they don’t even make iPods that are 10GBs any more and the first 1000GB (or 1TB) hard drive just went on sale. Has the whole world gone mad?! Who cares? All that matters is that you can get lots of space for all of your music, movies, photos, and documents for less than a dinner for two at Nobu.

How much space are you looking for? You can go from a measly 80GBs to 500GBs, nearly 6 times the space, for less than twice the price. And if you’re feeling really crazy, you can even get a 750GB drive for not much more. Sure, it’s not as exciting as finding a 1500 square foot apartment near Union Square for under market, but what the hell do you want from us here? Just buy a hard drive and be happy with the little things.
