5MB Hard Disk in 1956In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data.
The MP3 player in my jacket pocket has a 20 Gigabyte hard drive on it, and I currently have a 2 Gigabyte flash drive no bigger than a keyring lying on top of my keyboard!
Mutatis Mutandis!
