Has anyone quantified this at any point?

If 'lots of space' turns out to be 150MB, who the frick cares? I bought
a 500GB hard disk for $60. It was the smallest one they sell any more. I
bought an 8GB micro SD card - the size of a fricking fingernail - for
$50 a couple of months back. Where are we actually dealing with space
limitations any more? Not saying that there isn't somewhere, just that
we need to quantify if block sizes are actually a practical problem for
the use cases we're considering or not.
