I had a new fresh computer with 20GB of drive and was insane how much could fit that bad boy. My other friend had a pc with 2GB drive and we needed to sometimes decide which game to play to uninstall one and install another. Sometimes it was Sims, other Roller Coaster tycoon 2. At least Red Alert Command and Conquer 2 could also fit. On my computer I could have Tomb Rider 2 installed and GTA 3 and Vice City and although it struggled at least it fit.
Same, I have an HDD from 2012 which has my childhood memories. First thing I’m gonna do is to get it fixed from a reputed service when I start earning.

Ooof. 700mb discs
700mb was insane back then. I had a 6gb hard drive.
My mom and my girlfriend bought me an 80gb hard drive for my birthday and I couldn’t believe I had so much storage.
I still have it because I don’t want to lose what’s on it, but that ship probably sailed. It had mechanical failure about 20 years ago at this point.

Hard drives are fairly easy to recover. I’ve used such a service myself before in the early 2000s.
