Looking on web...... Random Access Method of Accounting and Control it was the first hard disk and the price it was about 10.000 dollars per Mb! in the 1956 IBM rent only (do not sell) at 35.000 dollars/year!!! Steve |

Now we just need to find a way to upload to it Actually 3TB is not that much, that's the capacity of my disk array . One might say that I could make a backup copy of my brain and store it there... |

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 |

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)

Yes, I still remeber our first 20MB HDD. It was a ST-202 or something... It's amazing how technology evolved.
