    One step above what I had back in 2012? What exactly does that say about progress in capacity?

      It’s twice the amount you were complaining about, and there are bigger drives than the one I have.

      Edit: I just realized he’s probably talking about being stuck on 1tb compared to when we had 1gb drives. Then we had 100gb drives, then 500gb, then 1tb. He’s probably commenting on why we don’t have 100tb+ drives yet.

      That’s all I can think of, and my response would simply be there are diminishing returns to the exponential growth of hardware.
