The first drive I bought was in my 486 Acer. I can't remember how big it was, but I really researched this computer purchase, I kept that until the Pentium/586 confusion settled down.

Prior to that at work, we had a PC in the lab that had a hard drive in it, and one day the computer would not start up. I opened the case, and found a hard drive in there that had been opened, someone broke the seal. We guessed someone had problems with their computer at home, tried to open the drive to "fix" it, and exchanged it for ours in the lab. I think it cost us like $200 for the 12 Meg replacement.
