Every 2 years?
"Disk capacities double about every 2 years"

It's possible you're right but I just got my 300 GB drive because prices dropped when the 500 GB drive came out about 6 months later a 1 TB drive came out. That was over a span of about 6 months.

There did appear to be a lull. Like space jumped and to the 100 GB range and that seem to hover between 100 GB and 250 GB for some time. Then BAM 500 GB appears followed by 1 TB shortly after.

I just don't remember 500 GB drives existing 2 years ago. Could be they did and were so expensive you just avoided even looking at them.
