Its a hard disk drive in 1956....


The Volume and Size of 5MB memory storage in 1956.

In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data.

Makes you appreciate your 4 GB USB thumb drive, doesn't it?

    Makes you wish to be able to travel to the past to see how people would react to you telling them the tiny thing you just pulled out of your pocket stores 4 Gigabyte...
