The Largest and Smallest Hard Drives Ever Made

• jewel 5y ago
  Just for laughs someone should make a 39 inch drive with modern technology. Looks like a PMR drive would get 338 TB per platter, so a 25 platter arrangement like in the photo would be 9.7 PB.

  The best images for showing the scale of the smallest drive are from the comments (on the AppleFritter site).

  From the article: > The platter is 39" diameter and 1/4" thick. It is made of magnesium. My brain initially read that as "made of momentum"...
