Back in those days, they just wrote the 1s and 0s straight on the disk with a pencil.

Aw, poor man. Don't worry, I got him a 2TB Kingston Data Traveler!

The pizza that got Tate

I'm sure iv seen that guy before

There are still systems actively using these discs. It's wild.

With just 10mb on that fucker and some places still using them? Jesus, I'll bet you can see each MB etched into that thing lol.

Hold it up. I'll get a picture for you.

this is the one...when the bits are too corrupt to mention, IT dude for the intervention.

Your random act of kindness inspired me to gift him another one... Look how happy he is!

If we assume diametre 80cm, it is approximately half a square metre, or 500.000 square millimetres. This gives us a density of 20 bits per square millimetre.

Modern disks are on the order of 200.000.000 bits per square millimetre.

Oh this one's clever!

And just like that, I'm transported to a factory training school, falling asleep after lunch and waking myself up by snoring.

[removed]

I'm not even supposed to be here today.

So you literally could put the bits in by hand.

How much would this size platter hold with modern data architecture.

That's where I got the picture to shop in.

Based on absolutely no information on the subject at all, I'll say 1tb

I really expected a pic of Dante in the Quick Stop.

I've never been more creeped out.

Kinda sus that both you and u/Crafty_Spring_4415 mentioned the same image editing website in your photo caption/description, and both of them read like an ad.

You won

Assuming comment in other thread holds true (20 bits per square mm, 500,000 square mm total-ish area, modern discs holding around 200,000,000 bits per square mm) the answer is about 12.5 Terabytes. Your seek times would be abysmal though!

At least it's not a Crosley.

THANK YOU. That's exactly the first thing I thought when I saw it until I read what it actually was

Scrolling buy, though this was some massive disc brake...

I have the iron core for the head driver for one of these, I have been using it as a small shop anvil for over 20 years.

I showed him that thread indeed! Sorry if that felt like ads. My intention is as simple as creating awesome stuff and help anyone achieve it.

I am literally screaming omg thank you so much for sharing this. This is FABULOUS

[removed]

Man, you do good work. I've seen your work on IG

I used to repair these suckers.

Military used them, in the 90s (were still in use in 89 when I left).

Due to the low density of bits, they can survive a EMP blast without corrupting the data.

[removed]

it looks amazing but i'm sorry to say that it's spinning the wrong way

^^sorry

thats the best one i swear

Nice touch with the whiteboard

MISTER 305?

[removed]

That depends entirely on your perspective.

[removed]

Should note though, the disk doesn't hold 10MB, it's one disk of many in a 10MB hard drive

It doesn't, though. Lol

[removed]

This particular one is pre 80s and possibly pre 60s. The IBM 2311 platters were smaller than the one shown and dominated the industry. They date back to the 50s. My dad used to store the IBM disks in blue plastic drum containers in the shed and we were told never to “touch them or tell anyone we had them”.

People forget how slow technology used to move. I saw my first CD player in 1984 as a child and it had been out a few years even then.

/u/hamju oh no the bits!

Like this one

this baby holds so many pochards

[removed]

Thank you for unearthing that specific bit of repressed Catholic memories. Jfc

[removed]

That’s not a Bubba, that’s a Bill.

Actually it does if they're referring to ones perspective of time

Damn. You are 100% correct and I am wrong.

This is what I was waiting for. Well done!

[removed]

[removed]

This one’s my fave. I like ones where you have to look for the original image. Nice work!

[removed]

ha, actually I was thinking more like "Jim" but "Bubba" was the first one that popped up on google image search!

Ha! Nice.

[removed]

[removed]

It's also not the right size.

I love this 😂

I love the added detail with the Amazon-style box that is way too big for what's being shipped

[removed]

[removed]

It's also backwards

Oh the systems I worked on were from the 60s, still in operation in the late 80s, still in operation when I departed the location.

you guys are hilario

[removed]

Haha, photoshotbattles cameo!

under his philosophy the opposite is true

Made me laugh 🤭

weezer

It's crazy how old storage mediums were treated, both as a medium and as a standard. I suppose the 'if it aint broke dont fix it' mantra was written in stone.

I heard that the Nasa tapes from the moon landing SSTV tapes were basically erased in the 80s so they could be re-used and only announced in 2009.

That was criminal. IMHO

It was the 80s people got away with shit you wouldn’t believe back then.
