handplane Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 CAN YOU GUESSWHAT THIS IS? 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Holy Cow! I remember back in the 80's a coworker brought in his newest purchase, a 10 megabyte hard drive that cost him less than $200! I was floored! "How is that possible!?!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
