My first hard drive was only 120mb in size, you can get memory sticks larger than this now. My latest drive is 250GB which is over two hundred times larger than my first disk.
Now you can forget all these sizes as a US inventor by the name of Michael Thomas -owner of Colossal Storage, has possibly cracked the boundaries of science which could result in 3.5" hard drives holding 1.2 petabytes of storage.
A petabyte is 1,024 times a Tera byte so if you do the maths (which I am hopeless at) you will be getting a shed load of storage capacity!
