Captured Moment: It's The Biggest One I've Ever Seen

(That's what she said...)


This picture is of a hard disk drive that was launched in 1956 by IBM. The 305 RAMAC, "SUPER" computer with a hard disk drive weighed over a ton and stored a whopping 5 MB of data.

Kinda makes you appreciate your tiny little 32 GB phone and itty bitty 8 GB memory stick, huh?

Progress. Cool.
