An ancient computer hard drive

Ran across this picture yesterday. Not many of you could have been into computer technology back then. For instance, Ken was only 3 yrs old when the picture was taken. I was not even an apple in my parents' eye. :)

It's a hard disk drive back in 1956...


A HDD with 5 MB storage.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 5 MB of data.

Start appreciating your 8 GB memory stick!
