yes, i think every single hard drive i've bought has been exponentially larger and cheaper than the previous one. the first one i got was a gigantic 50 giga if i recall correctly, i partitioned it with 15go for the system and i thought i'd *never* fill it up.
how naïve. the last one i bought was 1 terra, and i paid less for it than the original 50go one. and i don't mean "proportionally less adjusting for size and inflation" ; i mean the actual ticket price was less.
