60 TERABYTE hard drives coming!

Not sure just how they are doing it but using microwaves and heating somehow squishes the size of the magnetic domains on the hard drive platter.

A LONG time ago I worked on the original IBM hard drive, 14 inch platters that had ONE megabyte storage. We thought that was a huge amount of storage🙂
About the same time I worked on a 16 BIT memory block composed of 32 TUBES and was in a cabinet drawer taking up about 2 feet by 6 inches.

@sonhouse
I think I'll wait for carbon drives where each atomic strand holds a binary state -- and 60 Petabytes per square inch.

@bunnyknight
Don't hold your breath for such🙂

my first computer had 64K

Maybe sonhouse can tell us how much onboard RAM the Apollo modules had.

Should be interesting.

It had all of 32 K of ram! Pretty advanced, eh🙂
