How old were you 1987?
I was 16 years old and I had my Commodore 64 with a 1541 floppy disk and 170 kilobytes was a big storage for me, a guy used to cassette tapes to store computer data.
In real business, hard disks already carried hundreds of megabytes and were big - yes big. One of these "disks" was brought in by my esteemed collegue who got it from a bank some years ago where these platters ran for 12 years without any problems.

I took some pictures of this machine and I am pleased to show them to you.
Manufacturing date is 1987, the "mod I" had 200 Megabytes, but this is a "mod II", I think it had 300 Megabytes.
This hard disk can now be visited at the computing center of the University of Konstanz, central hall in building V, 5th floor.
