Look how far we have come in the past half century? In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD).
The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data.
Yeah, and now 50 years later, the hard disk drives weighs about 1 kg (?), and contains up to 750 gb of data.
Thats roughly 1000 times less weight and 150000 times more disk space.
Maybe I counted wrong, math never was my strong side.
But our disk technology still is based on mechanical parts. I would love to run a solid-state disk. Less heat, no noise, no moving parts, less prone to failure, less energy consumption, faster, no spin-up time.

Something without any moving parts would be nice with at least the storage capacity of a hard disk!
Yeah, same here. Some MP3 Players have solid-state memory in them. Puts my Zen 2.0 to shame...I would love to run a solid-state disk. Less heat, no noise, no moving parts, less prone to failure, less energy consumption, faster, no spin-up time.
1kilo? think it would be more correct when its 1TB for 1kilo.Yeah, and now 50 years later, the hard disk drives weighs about 1 kg (?), and contains up to 750 gb of data.
