Shoot, it did occur to me that might not technically be the right word.
Still, even if you’re an engineer in the late 80’s, it seems like it would be obvious you need a way for disks to announce themselves in O(1) time. Was it just a limitation of interoperability between vendors or something?
I like how posting got fairly fast. Then we started putting absurd amounts of ram into servers so now they’re back to slow.
Like we have a high clock speed dual 32 core AMD server with 1TB of ram that takes at least 5 minutes to do it’s RAM check. So every time you need to reboot you’re just sitting there twiddling your thumbs waiting anxiously.

I get annoyed if my pc isn’t restarted in 30 seconds now.

I got an M.2 drive last year after having a motherboard capable of it for 3-4 years, and naturally named it “Plash Speed”.
I will never not laugh at this video.
Why would you design a disk driver that way?

I’ll date myself. My first PC had 500MB of STORAGE

I had a friend with one of those while I had an Atari. The Atari game would come up within a minute, but the tape took like 15 min to start.
