It's a hard disk in 1956

Guess what they are trying to lift? It's a hard disk in 1956... a hard disk drive with 5 MB storage.

In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive. The HDD weighed over a ton and stored a total 5 MB of data.

So start appreciating your memory stick or portable harddrive which has thousand times the capacity of this monster!
