From: believer@telepath.com Subject: IP: World's biggest hard drive Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1998 23:15:59 -0600 To: believer@telepath.com WORLD'S BIGGEST DISK DRIVE To mark the centenary of magnetic recording, IBM today unveiled the largest (25gb) hard drive yet produced for PCs. It's shipping limited numbers to PC makers for use in machines that will be ready for Christmas. IBM introduced the first disk drive, back in 1956. It had a capacity of 5mb and was the size of two large refrigerators. The new 25gb drive comes on the 100th anniversary of the Telegraphone, a primitive answering machine.
