Where I worked fresh out of college, "SneakerNet" (8" floppies carried around) was our only "networking."
Then we got a GIANT hard drive for the whole department -- 50MB of storage, woo hoo! And a network to access it with, which was really fancy. That was before networking had really settled into Ethernet-based stuff -- there was a lot of token-ring & similar things floating around. The first network we had used a coax with vampire taps. Gawd I'm old.

I thought of you first when I saw Adrian working on these disk drives. 
I LOVE the build quality. Made to last 30+ years!
