Guess What This Is?

Hint: picture was  taken in 1956...




it's a hard disk drive back in 1956... With 5 MB of storage.

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 8 GB memory stick a little more now? i do now.
