I never cease to be amazed .

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 32 GB memory stick a little more now?
