Nostalgia indeed. I used to have 3 of these
<http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/3033/3033_241902.html> in my
12,000 sq. foot machine room with 4" diameter de-ionized water cooling
pipes running under the floor.
The largest single storage device was a "drum" storage unit of 5GB
capacity. It was about the size of a very large refrigerator and, IIRC,
cost about USD 3 million. It could read/write 3MB/second or maybe 1/5th
or thereabouts of a good CF card. Can't remember the model number.
Just as well forgotten. :-)
