Interesting, but we were using TRS-80 Model 1 computers--built in 1978. In 1980, added four floppy drives to each computer.
Noticed hard drives, but they were a joke. $500 for 5mb, $1k for 10mb. Low capacity.
Prices dropped over next few years and capacities got larger, but still silly pricing.
In late 1984, got a new system ("multi-user", ha-ha). More than two users and it slowed to a crawl. 8" 40mb HDD--which I filled twice in first two weeks. LOL !! Informix RDBMS made things easier, but almost no one knew how to use it. Built a basic database for the project I was doing. Finished building the database and was then "let go" while on vacation.
