What the image above is displaying is a one gigabyte hard drive from IBM, manufactured 20 years ago. To the right of the image the hand is holding a card, smaller than a stamp, which can contain the same amount of data.The IBM drive weighs 70-pounds and is belt-driven. I guess it comes from the days when computers were the size of houses.
The march of technology progresses.
