http://imageshack.us/img/butansn.png Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others! It's a hard disk in 1956... a hard disk drive with 5 MB storage. In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive. The HDD weighed over a ton and stored a total 5 MB of data. So start appreciating your 8 GB memory stick which has 1600 times the capacity of this monster! |
