10 years ago, that's around when I splurged and got a 250gb SSD. (still have it in my desktop to this day). it was in 2024 that I got a 2tb m.2 ssd.

I have no idea what your world is, but 1tb was not "standard" 10 years ago. not to mentio laptops.

I'm talking more so about HDDs, which were still very prevalent back then. SDDs wouldn't hit similar size to price for a few more years.

I had a mid-range laptop back then that was at least 500+ gigs with a HDD. And when I got my desktop, which was a hand-me-down 2012 dell inspiron from my grandmother, it had a 2TB HDD.

These days SSDs are fast and cheap, so the 1TB standard not really changing a ton has more to do with the switch from HDDs to SSDs.

I could be misremembering a few things here, so feel free to correct me.
