My first job after graduate school was with the First National Bank of Chicago (since acquired by J P Morgan Chase), in its computer operations organization. As you might have expected from one of the ten largest banks (measured by assets) in the world, it had a lot of disk storage – 7.2 gigabytes. Counting the control units for the disk drives (but not the channels that allowed the IBM 370/168 computers to communicate with them, which should arguably be included, as well), the bank had paid approximately $11 million for the disk storage, which works out to about $1,500 per megabyte. Today, you can buy a 64 gigabyte flash drive from amazon.com for $15.99.
