To your left is a hard drive from IBM with a total capacity of 1GB. To your right is an SD card whose capacity is equal to that of the IBM drive. That’s what 20 years of advancement will get you. Awesome.

  1. Yeah, but the IBM drive had to sound awesome when spinning up.


  2. Should have used a micro sd card…


  3. but the 1gig harddrive probably only carries about 700 mb.
    You know how like on our ipods how it SAYS 30 gigs, but we only get 27 gigs.


  4. Yeah but i bet the IBM drive will come back in 20 or so years as a retro toy or something
