  Software runs from the RAM. It gives no fucks about the hard drive once its loaded. The RAM needed to compress 500 GB howevere... this guy might be a billionaire.

  I'm pretty sure I had a compressed drive when I ran 95. I need room for all my warez. I never ran NT on my DX2/66.

  I only had 256mb, and a tape drive, which was itself slow af because it had to seek by sector.

  Given how VHS tapes are known to stretch and break when the get too hot for too long, I wager a tape drive going forward and reverse that much didn't live very long.

  The tapes were smaller, and held about 512mb to 1gb. They were fine for backup. I wouldn't use them actively. They were very slow.

  Ah, the way you said it, I thought it was your main drive. Not real savvy on all these retro techs you basedboomers used.

  If only you could have liked other things the way they were too. Like jews in ovens and no niggers in White neighborhoods.

  I'm still surprised we use such decayable media for important backups. I'd have though etched glass or steel discs to be prime for hard archives.

  It was rotating backups for a small business. They only needed to be there in case one of the systems shit the bed and needed a restore.

  They were intended for long term/overnight backups. I used to oversee the nightly backups at a job I had many many years ago.

  Nice. This was modern casette (not audio) tape drive backups. A little easier to deal with than feeding a reel to reel.

  THAT would explain a lot of things. Including why people kept asking if I was raised in one.
