Disk Systems Compared
90Kb for $799 ($100 for assembly)
$8Gb for $5.95
1972 – 90Kb Floppy Disk System 2014 – 8Gb SD Card
In 1972, to have 8Gb worth of floppy disks all online at once, you would have to buy 93,207 floppy disk systems at a total cost of $74,472,198. That’s probably many more than were ever produced.
Even if you bought them all, no system existed that would allow you to hook them all up and access them at the same time.
