Do You Know What This Is?

It is a hard drive of 5 MB from 1956...

In September of 1956 IBM launched 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk/drive.

The hard drive weighed about a ton and had a capacity of 5 MB...

And you are complaining about your Pen Drive of 4 GB, isn't that right? (1 image)

I remember one of my professors talking about working for one of the Big Three automakers in the late seventies and how they were excited to get a new mainframe with 16k. He recalled several comments like "16K? We could never use all that".
