The IBM 350 hard drive in the first production computer, the IBM 305 RAMAC, released in 1956, occupied a box the size of a large refrigerator and weighed 971 kg, and the total memory capacity of the 50 thin disks with a diameter of 610 mm, coated with pure iron, rotating in it was about 5 million 6-bit words (3.5 MB in terms of 8-bit words - bytes).
