| Description: | To answer the often-repeated question, the 6gb drive in the back is a flash drive, which is actually very tiny, hence the price tag. Thanks to MasterSitsu for helping with the fixed loop! | ||||||||||

| Yep, they were that damn big. | ||||||
| probably missing something obvious here, but wtf is with the other sign? you could pick up a 6gb hard drive for 10 bucks nowadays. | ||||||
| That looks awesome! | ||||||
| I think the 6GB is referring to flash memory, ixian. | ||||||
| HAHAHAHA COMPUTERS SUCKED BACK THEN. | ||||||
| Sweet pic. | ||||||
| The music is fantastic! | ||||||
| 5'd | ||||||
| Except you could pick up a 6gb at a flea market for about a buck. | ||||||
| cpt. Murphy = automatic *5* | ||||||
| sh*t, that looks like a f*ckin crankcase cover | ||||||
| Notice the magnifying glass? Whatever that 6GB drive is, it's very small. Can't make it out in this picture though. Flash memory, maybe, like Ministry said.
And, uh, not Capt. Murphy. | ||||||
| Ha ha... well the average price for hardrive space today is in the area of 1 dollar per gigabyte.
So in today's pricing the memory of that 40mb harddrive is worth 4 cents.
That means today it costs 0.0001% of its original cost | ||||||
| |||||||
| In 20 years there will be a ytmnd about our 100 gb hard drives compared to 2020 god knows what. | ||||||
| Fix that audio loop, man. | ||||||
| SCI SCI SCIENCE! | ||||||
| Harry Goz's voice is unmistakeable , i remember the episode , who do YOU think it is.. | ||||||
| +4 for awesome, -2 for spelling 'Forty' as 'Fourty' TWICE | ||||||
| f*ckING MATHEMATICS | ||||||
| We've come a long way. Nanu Nanu with the splitting of the fingers in the middle man. Science. | ||||||
| I hear rumors there's already drives that go up to 1 TERAbyte. I have yet to see one in person, however. | ||||||
| ^^Holographic storage | ||||||
| 5 for the awesome "Thomas Dolby" flashback... | ||||||
| Uh... I think LaCie has had terabyte hard-drives for at least a year, maybe two. | ||||||
| I'm not really amused by the site. But that's a great sound. | ||||||
| Dr.Tongue, it's more around 35 cents per gigabyte. | ||||||
| yeah it's definatley virtual memory or RAM. | ||||||
| It's definitely RAM, not an HDD. | ||||||
| lol. do you remeber when cdr's were like 20.00 bucks for ten? | ||||||
| sheldon is dumb. "that episode"? of sealab? The song is from the early 80's. LaCie's terrabyte drives are usually 2 drives in a single external case... but there are drives much much bigger not aimed at the consumer. | ||||||
| lol the sound was awesome. | ||||||
| Holy sh*t, that's a big *ss hard drive, lol 80's | ||||||
| NO WAI! | ||||||
| I just got a 160 gig HD for 70$, which means its 44 cents per gig. | ||||||
| Science rules. | ||||||
| ^ LoL | ||||||
| 5'd it just for the song ;) | ||||||
| Had to log in to 5 this one. Excellent. | ||||||
| She Blinded me with Science and 40,000$ dollars for the Victory | ||||||
| 5, simply for Thomas Dolby. | ||||||
| You didnt look hard enough http://www.ordiworld.com/doc/images/Design/ramac2.jpg
$1,000,000 in 1956 (without the controller) | ||||||
| Funny pic, and awesome choice in music. | ||||||
| SHE BLINDED ME WITH SCIENCE!! | ||||||
| thats a f*cking HUGE hard drive! | ||||||
| theres a huge price difference, and both are over priced. | ||||||
| Kudos for the song | ||||||
| Would've given a five, but -1 for faulty loop. | ||||||
| Even though the pic flips up, the music and very hilarity makes me love this. | ||||||
| http://www.dottocomu.com/b/archives/images/toshibaminiHDth.jpg
The 6 GB one is one of those. So it is more expensive than a normal sized HDD | ||||||
| I love that song. And I want that hard drive, 'tis shmecksy... | ||||||
| |||||||
| nice | ||||||
| I WANT THAT 40MB! | ||||||
| it looks like a damn dump truck transmission | ||||||
| holy moly. just think they'll be making fun of us with thier 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 terabite drives that are the size of a grain of rice. and thier cpus are 6,000 bit learning computers. great song choice. | ||||||
| Hm, I don't know if you should have sued "technologic" or this one because it's 80's. | ||||||
| lol, we were so lame back then | ||||||
| ha ha | ||||||
| nice! | ||||||
| 1985 hdd pwned by 2006 hdd. f*cking awesome. | ||||||
| Bill Nye would be impressed | ||||||
| i made you a better loop of that song. i hope you'll use it - download it here: http://www.savefile.com/files/8730454 | ||||||
| Wowee | ||||||
| Science!! | ||||||
| nice...just nice | ||||||
| For serious gamers. | ||||||
| You could kill someone with that beast. | ||||||
| You're my hero, Sitsu! | ||||||
| 5 for Thomas Dolby | ||||||
| AHAH | ||||||
| That sh*t is huge. | ||||||
| Best, song, ever. | ||||||
| nice | ||||||
| no one said anything about any 21 centure cartoons, the voice actor died recently at like age 70 mo-ron | ||||||
| Still wasn;t looping properly, then I figured out I could loop it at the 'science' bit. | ||||||
| lol | ||||||
| SCIENCE, I SAID SCIENCE AGAIN! | ||||||
| win. | ||||||
| Extremely awesome loop. your site has been bookmarked if i should need to use it i will site you. | ||||||
| 5'd because of the song. Good heavens miss Sakamoto, you're beautiful! | ||||||
| I'VE BEEN BLINDED WITH SCIENCE! | ||||||
| sheldon: episode of what, then? (nothin could be finer than pickin fights on tymnd in the mornin') | ||||||
| 5d for She Blinded Me With Science! | ||||||
| 6 GB Flash memory/400 bucks? bah. Get an iPod and fill it with files >_> duh.... | ||||||
| If you're interested, I made a seamless science loop here:

| http://thereisnoytmndatthisURLsorry.ytmnd.com | ||||||
| oh man... great song choice | ||||||
| the 6 gb is a flash card. lol that is a damn huge hard drive though. | ||||||
| LAWL | ||||||
| Lawl, nice. | ||||||
| sorry kids, an IBM PC with 40MB hard drive cost was only $2500 in 1983. | ||||||
| SCIENCE | ||||||
| Technology is moving so fast. It's amazing. | ||||||
| She gave me credit fraud...WITH SCIENCE. | ||||||
| Its funny that they thought 6gb was ALOT back then. +5 | ||||||
| Great sound loop | ||||||
| Bloke saying Science is 'Magnus Pike' btw.
| ||||||
| SCIENCE. | ||||||
| If you pay attention, the comparison isn't just price, it's size. The 6gb Harddrive is whicked tiny, hence the Magnifying Glass. | ||||||
| ^^True^^
The 6GB is REALY small. Like for use in a cellphone. | ||||||
| the balogna is in the nest, the pastrami is recyclable. | ||||||
| 5'd for baby killer technology. | ||||||
| i think its talking about RAM, not hard drives | ||||||
| Nice Music | ||||||
| ive heard rumor that this picture is fake, but +5 for the mythbusters song | ||||||
| Just so everyone knows, that's a flash drive, and it's being magified. It's the size of a cig lighter. | ||||||
| $40000 for a 40MB hard drive!! OMFG! | ||||||
| Wow. That's ungodly. | ||||||
| ah, didn't know it was a flash drive... now its better :D (i was like dude... i got an 80GB years ago) | ||||||
| I gotsa get me one-a dose | ||||||
| we've come a loooong way brother | ||||||
| crazy | ||||||
| I thought it was hilarious, then even more hilarious when I realized it was 40mb, not 40gb. | ||||||
| Interesting audio | ||||||
| Props to MasterSitsu for the loop. | ||||||
| I like the 40MB better | ||||||
| Wow, that drive is so big I think I can see the individual bits written on it. | ||||||
| huge! | ||||||
| the question is.. is it compatible with my eMachines? | ||||||
| this still blows my f*cking mind | ||||||
| ahh the good old days....they kinda sucked when it comes to computer hardware dont u think? | ||||||
| Couldn't fit much pr0n on there. :( | ||||||
| haha jesus I don't have anything smaller then 40 megs on my pc now. | ||||||
| lol i love this sh*t. i had a computer in 1985 that didn't even HAVE a hard drive. | ||||||
| i want one of those for my toilet. | ||||||
| 4 because you used a song that mobb deep sampled off amerikaz nightmare | ||||||
| lol | ||||||
| bah.. I've seen 8 gb flash drives for like, $130. $600 is uber overpriced. | ||||||
| this is why I have a hard time spending alot of money on comouters. | ||||||
| Ummm, TheEvilTwin, I don't think it's a rumor, You can but 2 terabyte hard drives. I saw it on a place where you could pick out what you wanted in a gaming computer. | ||||||
| ill slap someone with that big piece of sh*t | ||||||
| you fail, please try again ^_^ | ||||||
| you win, keep up the good work. ;D | ||||||
| haha drive savers i used to work for them | ||||||
| 5'd for Perfect Loop | ||||||
| It is now 2009 and I laugh at your history's hard drive sizes and prices. | ||||||
