My dad sent me the photo bellow the other day. It's a 5MB hdd from 1956.
When you look at that pic, it's SCARY how small memory storage has become in 50 years. As a comparison....below is a photo of a 1GB Compact Flash, next to a SD card, next to my new 2GB Micro SD card.
Do you think the guys in the first picture would have ever believed you would get 2GB of storage on something the size of your fingernail?
