IBM Launches First Portable Hard Drive




































Back in 1956, Pan Am's crew is loading a hard disk drive... with 5 MB of storage.
In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first 'super' computer with a hard disk drive and a ton of storage.  

How much?
The hard drive weighed over a ton and stored a 'whopping' 5 MB of data.
Your 8 GB USB memory stick holds 1,600 times more memory.



thanks Babs!
