You must be mistaken. I guarantee you that the CPU clock speed was not 7.5 cycles per second (Hertz). It must have been MHz.

You are correct. I updated the original post.
You may be correct. This was 40 years ago ... memory is a bit fuzzy.

Back in the 90's I remember wasting $300 on a Zip drive. The lure of storing 100 MB on each cartridge was too much. It seems like the cartridges were relatively expensive as well.
Of course about a year later they came out with CD Writers built into the PC's already.

I am a few weeks older than the IBM System/360 announcement.
When I was eight or nine, my father gave an introductory programming course in the Weizman Institute (their mainframe was a 360) and took me along. My first program was in Fortran on punched cards. It read pairs of numbers and output their product. True to form, it had a bug in it.
