Subject: 50th b-day hard drives

Happy 50th Birthday Hard Drives!

1956: IBM ships the first hard drive, the RAMAC 305, which holds 5MB of data at $10,000 a megabyte. It is as big as two refrigerators and uses 50 24-inch platters.

And today, I have over a terabyte of storage on my main computer (not counting other computers in the house) - and I could use more!
