Well 10TB drives didn't exist 20 years ago. Even 10TB total on a server was an almost unthinkable amount of storage.
replyThe drives were like 10 years ago but you’re certainly wrong on the server part of your comment
replyI suppose... most of the servers I managed in those days didn't come close to that. These were pretty average 2U servers, maybe 6 or 8 drive bays with a 500G or so drive in each, RAID 5 config, so maybe 3.5TB total if loaded up. 10TB would have been considered a huge amount of space.
replyI'm sure some storage servers or storage appliances were built with many TB even then but it wasn't really something I saw a lot.
