Hard to guess ?

An old photo

What is it ?





 CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THIS IS?   
        
Hint: picture was taken in 1956...



It's a hard disk drive back in 1956... 
With 5 MB of storage. 

In September 1956,
IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, 
the first 'SUPER' computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). 

The HDD weighed over a ton 
and stored a 'whopping' 5 MB of data. 

And this was the 'portable' unit!
