Guess what this is....A 5MB Hard Disk from 1956



It's a hard disk  drive.... with a whooping 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 5 MB of  data. 

Bet you appreciate your 16 GB memory stick now, or a 
3GS iPhone with 32 GB  of  memory .....
