   In 1956, #IBM introduced a groundbreaking innovation: the 5MB hard drive. This was a revolutionary advancement in data storage, offering an unprecedented capacity for its time. Housed in a massive cabinet, the IBM 305 RAMAC hard drive weighed over a ton and was about the size of a refrigerator, yet it could hold the equivalent of 5 megabytes of data—an amount that seems minuscule by today's standards but was a monumental leap forward in #computing.
