Time for a bit of nostalgia.WAY back in 1956, well before I was born, IBM were introducing the world to it's RAMAC, a 1200RPM 5MB hard-drive. That 5MB of data was stored on, count them, 50 disks! At 100KB per disk, I'm glad my 250GB external drive isn't that big. For more http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/worlds-first-hard-drive-1956
