What's the SMALLEST (capacity) hard drive you've ever used?

[Double Trouble]

I see all these new 80 and 100 Gig hard drives, and I got to wondering, what's the smallest capacity hard drive you've ever personally used or had in a system?

For me, it was a 10 MB hard drive for my original Apple II machine. Small is not a good way to describe the HD though, it was a box about the size of a big tower case PC, sounded like a jet engine, and was hooked up through thick cables to the Apple. I remember thinking "there's no freakin' way anyone will ever be able to fill this puppy up". Of course, back then the whole operating system fit on a 120Kb floppy (and actually worked!).

Lets hear about other people's experiences!

I remember back in primary school they had these computers that were old even then(late 1980's) and I can remember them being about 7MB!
