Can you guess what this is?


Here is a hint:
This picture was taken in 1956.
answer?

That would be a 5MB hard disk drive, made by IBM, in 1956.

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 32 GB memory stick a little more now?
