Can you tell what it is yet ?




Hint: The picture was taken in 1956.

Answer...






It's a hard disk drive back in 1956... With 5 MB of storage.

In September 1956, IBM launched the 305 RAMAC,


The first 'SUPER' computer with a hard disk drive (HDD).


The HDD weighed over a ton and stored a 'whopping' 5 MB of data.


Do you appreciate your 32 GB memory stick a little more now?
