The numbers 9 and 27 (for the venturesome) still prevail in many shops. Much larger values, never available as physical, spinning DASD, appear to make some people uneasy.
They get used, reluctantly at least on the first occasion, only when some compelling special argument is made for them. In querying people about such decisions I have been told things like "The smaller volumes are more reliable" or "I wasn't sure the big ones would work".
