Computer Computer storage (1956)

CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THIS IS?




SCROLL DOWN FOR THE ANSWER



Its a hard disk 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 drive, doesn't it?
