fun fact: hard drives came out 11 years before the first floppy disk!

Let me guess, they were huge, cost five figures and held one megabyte

Anthony, of course

@grishka @tubetime the first would be the IBM 350 in 1957. And yes, it was huge.

@tubetime

1971: IBM S/370 ships with microcode on the first floppy. Fun fact: current Z series mainframes use a USB thumb drive plugged into a USB port on the motherboard. Right next to the headers for the color LED fans. With a spare thumb drive duct taped inside the chassis.

@tubetime the IBM team that makes the 5150 didn’t get the memo 😂

@tubetime look, it takes time for the platters to ripen. It's just physics!
