Guess What This Is

[nivrip]

Bet you don't know what this is.

[font=arial, sans-serif]Hint: picture was taken in 1956...







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 1 GB memory stick a little more now?

Wow, you'd think printing 5MB of data would take up less space

Interesting pic, got any more?
