Happy Birthday to hard drives!
The hard drive which was invented by IBM debuted 50 years ago today! Today, there have been nearly 2 billion units manufactured and this year, around 450 million units will be made. The cost of 1GB of space today is about fifty cents - amazing, huh? Especially considering that leasing hard drive space 50 years ago cost thousands and you only got a few MB of space.
Technology marches on...
