Evolution of Data Storage Devices

This is the evolution of data storage devices. Have you ever wondered how data was stored in the past? In this video we show you the evolution of data storage devices over time. Data storage started on devices like punched cards, one-ton hard drives, but evolved into tiny storage devices with hundreds of TB available.
How big is 1MB, 1GB, 1TB, 1PB, 1ZB in real life?

What was the oldest type of storage you had? ⌨

[@kimmypool005]

Compact Disc

Nic video. I have over 1000 floppy disks that are 720KB each. Not sure what to do with them yet XD. By the way the first CD wasn't 700MB. Those 80 minute CDs came along a little later. I've seen some really early CDs that were either 53 or 60 minutes.

It's crazy how a tiny little 1TB micro SD card would be the equivalent of over 8.3 billion punch cards..

[@Ssjcloud3]

It's interesting as far we've come in so little time. From the 8 bit Nintendo cartridge holding 40 MB to the CD that held 700 mb then the Dreamcast disc that held 1.5 gb, the DVD that held 4.7 GB and now our phones hold terrabytes. We went from a CD holding 700 MB to a blue ray holding 25 GB in 5 years. Crazy awesome evolution and time to grow up in. We're going back to cartridges.

What's truly insane is you can fit a library full of books onto something as small as your pinky nail. So small you can easily lose it. Just insane.

[@benedictvorwerg9621]

I think it's so crazy how technology has become smart so quickly For example, I don't use CDs anymore, except for gaming, I prefer streaming instead of normal TV programs, it's just crap anyway😅I'm curious to see how smart the technology will become because this is just the beginning

[@johneygd]

Back then when storage devices were HUGE & clumsy but couldonly hold as little data on it but these days storage devices are damn small but could store at average sooo much freaking damn data on it,just insane.

i made my whole assissgnment through this video Thank u so much keep it up

[@blastertechnology]

Glad it helped, thanks for watching and commenting.

[@Elisey_Silantev]

Interesting video 👍👍😊😊

[@sheni.]

Useful ❤

Once you go full NVMe in your build there’s no going back.

[@gautamrishi2700]

it also helped me to complete my presentation

[@Spartan11117777]

Got a USB 3.0 2 TB Flash Drive and glad it actually does hold 2 TBs of Data and not just like 16 to 64 GBs. 😮‍💨 😅

[@Scott4271]

No mention of the Jacard loom? First punch card system

[@horrnett]

these days my problem is what name I gave to the final final finally n the most recent final file word or excel name n then try to find which one is the actual final file to be sent 😂

[@rickyjaimes3836]

So many storage device

[@Cortana_ice_fox]

There is a mistake that says 1890 rather than 1990

[@meralmaradia4774]

And how it could be possible? I mean can you brief in aspect of various technologies behind this revolution?

[@terryc7142]

I'm very curious about the 1890 storage devices, as the thumbnail describes? Perhaps computer history should be rewritten?

[@saskiavanhoutert6081]

Philips invented the blue-ray compact disk in I suppose around 1995.

[@as2s3hf7gff]

Why the thumbnail says floppy disk r in 1800s????? Even computer haven't being invented yet

[@SFtheGreat]

I see tapes were almost completely ignored, DDS, Data8, DLT, LTO...

[@algodoomarbleracing]

And vhs

[@SFtheGreat]

@@algodoomarbleracing The use of VHS as data storage medium was minimal.

I have permission to use your video for my learning🙏

Yes, sure

Between the times of cave drawings and papyrus, a lot of business information was stored on clay tablets. The undamaged ones can still be read. Talk about long term storage.

[@dennistzortzopoulos8606]

a floppy disk

[@Russian95_]

What?

[@matthewlachs6265]

you do realize the cloud is just a data center right? thats not a new technology , they are using regular flash and cheap disk to store peoples data... confused why that was added

[@blastertechnology]

Although the cloud relies on data centers for storage and processing, the key lies in how it transforms the way we interact with data. It gives us access to information and resources from anywhere and anytime, eliminating the need to worry about local hardware. As technologies evolve, the cloud is becoming a fundamental part of how we manage, share and use our data. So despite its roots in hardware infrastructure, its impact on how we interact with data is truly revolutionary and a significant step in the evolution of storage systems. By the way, Happy New Year!

[@gautamrishi2700]

I have a radio tape

[@terenceayer337]

What hasn't changed is our constant grumbling & complaining about shortage of storage space.....😂😂
