In 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 IBM 350 Disk Storage Unit provides storage capacity of the disk drive was 5MB (referred to at the time as 5 million characters). It was configured with 50 magnetic disks containing 50,000 sectors, each of which held 100 alphanumeric characters.

Title: Re: 5 MB Harddisk !!!! (must see) Post by: milan on December 24, 2007, 05:10:16 17:10 You also buy a smaller warehouse with hard drives for their storage :)
If you save documents on those drives, you better use pen and paper :) it will use much less room (space) :) hehe Title: Re: 5 MB Harddisk !!!! (must see) Post by: samomni on December 26, 2007, 04:52:46 04:52 It's really quite amazing how far we have gone, Imagine 5MB then now they already introduce a solid state semiconductor based harddisk in several hundred gigabytes. No moving parts. Seek time will be in micro or even nano seconds phew!!! (scary sometimes)
