This is a real 3.78 gig hard drive from the 70s and it shows just how much we have advanced technology over the last few years.

This is a late 70's early 80's hard drive, it weights 80 pounds, and has a whopping 3.78GB. It cost 250K, and was used by banks to store account data.

Here is a rear view

2

A closer rear view, shows the data connector at the bottom

3

Here is a front view, where you can see the spindle power cable.

4

These drives where built on rubber mounts to reduce shock when the are moved for maintenance on their tracks.

5

This is the input for that Halon gas that the drives where filled with while in operation. Halon gas is a deadly gas that is pumped into the drives that makes them fire-proof, if there was a fire, the room they where in would be filled with halon gas as well, giving any operators in the room only one minute to get out.

6

This is the underside, the drives weighed 80-90 pounds, so they where put on tracks to slide on for maintenance.

7

With the cover off, we can see the armature heads and the cylinder.

Here is the top of the case, you can see the filters for the halon gas.
