I had a P3 desktop with a UDMA hard drive (33MB/s theoretical peak) and 128MB of RAM. A workstation of the time would have over 512MB of RAM and a SCSI drive that might not sustain 40MB/s.
Going back further, in 1995, a SPARCstation 20 had a SCSI-2 controller (10MB/s maximum transfer rate) and could be fitted with 512MB of RAM.
