Sixties & Seventies

Amusing but faux. By the late 1970s standard mainframe disk sizes were in 100s of MB, by 1980 disks were in the TB range. Platter sizes were around the 14" mark and never of this crazy size.

You have certainly confirmed that your user-name is accurate. Morons such as you attempting to make corrections on topics you obviously have no knowledge about.

You should seriously do some research before embarrassing yourself publicly.

"IBM introduced the first hard disk drive to break the 1GB barrier in 1980. It was called the IBM 3380 and could store 2.52GB (“2.52 billion characters of information,” according to IBM). Its cabinet was about the size of a refrigerator and the whole thing weighed in at 550 pounds (250 kg)."
