In late 1990s one of the kids had a PC with a full height 10 M byte MFM drive for a short while, i.e. size of two full size CD/DVD drive bays. My first HDD was a 5M byte on an Apple II that had its own PSU.
I found a photo of a development lab about 1983 a couple of weeks ago. Intel development system running IsisII and "cake cover" style 5 M Byte HDD pack (winchester?) in a floor standing box almost half the size of a filing cabinet. The desk also had the ACT Sirius 1 PC, which was seriously more advanced than the IBM PC in 1981. 800x 400 matte graphics screen vs goldfish bowl text only (CGA was an option). Sound, clock, I/O built in. 1.2M or 2.4M floppy vs 180K or 360K on IBM in 1981.
