After 29 years in the disk drive business, Seagate is shipping its one billionth hard drive and it plans to hit two billion in five years.

This mark is equal to about 79 million terabytes of data storage. 29 years ago it came out with the ST506 hard drive.

It had a whopping 5MB capacity, weighed about 2.25kg, and cost $1,500.

These days you can by a 1TB drive for about a third of that price.

How did we manage in those days?

One file is often more than 5Mb today. :o
