free 1G external scsi disk and case

[Francois Dion]

Of course that's comparing apple and oranges, the ST41200N are mammoth
5.25" FH drives and ST15230N is 3.5 but twice the height... For the 95
SCSI vintage, I think 2GB in 3.5 low profile was the top of the line, so
1GB would have sounded large still.

In our department purchase logs, I can see purchases of CDC 94601-12G
1230MB disks going back as far as 2/90, and ST41200N 1.04GB disks
starting around 6/91.  So, I'm not sure who would have thought 1 GB was
big in 1995, when we were buying disks in the 2-4 GB range, eg,
ST15230N.  What year were you talking about?  ;)
