+CWplayer No, if you would store GTA V (65GB) on CD's you would need 93 as a CD only holds 700MB. With single layer DVD's (4.7GB) you would need 14 and with dual layer DVD's (8.5GB) you would need 8. Because of that modern games are sold on Blue-ray Disk's of which you need 3 for single layer disks (25GB), 2 for dual layer disks (50GB) or only 1 for triple layer (100GB) and quad layer (128GB) disks.

As a Bulgarian, I don't know where did you get that picture at 4:00, but it made me giggle. The largest disk, the one that he is talking about, says "Сделано в Болгарии", which means "Made in Bulgaria". 'ИЗОТ' is the name of the factory, where they used to make them and as it happens, it was in my home town. In the 80s this factory was one of the biggest and most modern computer electronics manufacturers in eastern Europe and it supplied the chips and memory modules for much of the Soviet era electronics, including those for the Soviet space agency. Now it's abandoned, but a lot of the facilities and internal structures were sold out. I actually have the steel case of one of those massive 80s computers (along with a bunch of 80-100W industrial steel fans for cooling) that I use as a rack in my garage. :D In my town, these old disks have become something of a collectible, a memory from the past. They're quite rare nowadays, so I was surprised to see them in that photo.

Several others have mentioned the cassette drives, which I believe either Amiga or Commodore64 (that's 64 kilo-bytes) both used for storage. However, some other iterations were skipped, as I remember in the 80's our WP dept. had a 10Mb hard drive a little louder than the dorm refrigerator size-spot it occupied. Besides Zip drives, both Zip and Jaz drives were brought to us by Bernoulli, the name of a principle that built a 5-1/2" 150Mb drive/cartridge combo that used air to keep multiple magnetic layered for read/writes. Then there was also Syquest, that gave is 5-1/2" 44Mb, 88Mb and 280Mb single HD platter cartridges in a plastic case. They also made the EZ135, a 3-1/2" variant that held a whopping 135Mbs again on a single cartridge disk platter. There were LS-120 floppies that didn't last...long, and magneto-optical disks, similar to those EZ135s, albeit a CD-in-a-cartridge. These disk types and peripherals existed because hard drives weren't all that big, nor 'dirt' cheap: Up 'til 2000, the average business machine had a 20Gb HDD. So I'm kinda disappointed when Luke blew right over SDXC cards, because for $8 I could throw my 49-disk collection of EZ135 cartridges on a thumbnail sliver, and still have 30 Gbs to spare. ;) BTW those last five technologies - if you ever want a picture, I have them running on my desk.

@schitlipz8 жыл бұрын
Franklin Cerpico He portrayed all magnetic tapes as large, cumbersome things. And that relief arrived only when disks hit the market. So that's why it was pointes out that cassette tapes were/are portable and convenient. Masticina Akicta Huh? Roughing it out with four old 56k modems, on each of the four tracks of a cassette, would provide large storage. And those "old", more recent, modems (90's) were designed for the limited bandwidth of phone lines. Cassettes have a much broader bandwidth. I'd have to pull out the books to figure out the theoretical limits, but old tape modulation (80's) didn't even utilize stero tracks, and was just very primitive in general. Wait... I didn't bring up this issue in this thread. It'll just confuse readers. Sorry. Btw, info on tapes and disks are never stored as unmodulated 0s and 1s (as in magnetic polarity). Unfortunately, that notion has been perpetuated. Data is always modulated to analogue, and compression schemes are implemented.
@MasticinaAkicta8 жыл бұрын
schitlipz Ah right, makes sense. I am sure that with todays insight and technology we could stuff allot more on an audio tape. Hell lets be fair we already stuff TERABYTES of data on big tapes. A small tape like that probably can handle a Gigabyte if using the same level of technology.

You missed acoustic and magnetostrictive delay lines, which would have fit in nicely before mentioning core memory. Acoustic delay lines used sound waves traveling through vats of liquid, usually mercury. Magnetorstictive types used vibrations through a nickel alloy wire. Sound representing the bits was transmitted at one end, received at the other, and then processed, amplified, and recycled back at the transmitting end. Many early calculators and computers used these. A typical calculator of the 1960s carried about 400-800 bits of data on it's delay line. Also, there was the RCA Selectron tube. The Selectron was a directly addressable 256 byte vacuum tube RAM. It was used in the JOHNNIAC computer. A 4096 bit version was proposed, but not produced.

This video relives a hole lot of memories. I never found out there was such thing as flash memory until I bought an hp40g+ calculator back in either 2005. The manual suggested inserting a flash memory chip. Into a special slot built into the calculator. So I thought I was in seventh heaven with my SD Card because I could keep backing up my HOME directory onto this card. if things crashed I used the SD Card to get it back. Eventually I learned how to organize my data into a DOS/Windows directory hierarchy. I built my Home directory archive filenames out of today's date. That way I know when I made them.

Yet how come storage space hasn't gotten any larger in the past 3 years or so? It's been at some sort of supposed stand still. Not only that the price of 1 TB harddrives has hardly come down even though it's old technology now. The monopoly of technology control on the human species is RIDICULOUS. We should be MUCH more advanced by now. But we are suppressed, still relying on oil and paying some other human being for electricity when it comes for FREE all day long and can be collected and stored.

ⱤᴱᴬᴸҬᴬᴸᴷ Well, storage is expensive. It's expensive to cram more storage space into a box thing. Think about it, not many people will need more than 2tb storage which you can get for just over $100. However, people who do need like 100's of terabytes can get servers. Watch some Linus videos, he builds a 100 terabyte server with 27 Hybrid Hdd/Sdd. Toshiba has also announced plans on a 100 terabyte drive.

Bubbles Are Good You're telling me they can't fit more into the box? They have 512GB micro sd cards but you want to believe they can't do it?!? No and about the avg person needing space. These days with recording HD and 4k videos and photos it's not hard to fill up 2 TB. It's all about technology control and money. They can't give us too much now.

BlueJayGamer17 You probably have a Chromebook, and it doesnt have a hard drive, it uses flash storage which is faster than a hard drive, but more expensive to manufacture and holds less data, similiar to an SSD.

I find it amazing that they got anything useful done with that ancient technology. And in the future they will look back at something like a 1TB SSD drive like we do those punch card things or refrigerator sized 5MB hard disks that cost 1$ Million. Computers are no where near their potential. Its still early days.

Around 2005 I was studying to become an Industrial Technician. At our school we had a somewhat old Numeric-Controlled Lathe and a boring tool. We did draw in CAD, but the these drawings had to be printed on this long punch tape of red paper. Just to make a simple chess bishop on the lathe required a tape about two meters long!

Cathode ray tubes are the tubes used in displays: TV, computer screens (CRT) and old-school radar, etc. "Tubes" is the proper generic term here in USA (and I guess up North, too). The Brits use the term "valves," which, being Canadian, you probably already knew.

Great history lesson there in 6.5 min, I learned some things I didn't previously know! I grew up in the 90s as a teen and used computers with 5.25 and 3.5" disk drives so am all familiar with those. I have in my collection a few 8" disks. Just a bit of correction on 8" disk capacity, I read on Wikipedia their actual max storage capacity to begin with in the early 70s was 242,944 bytes so about 240kb, and with later tech development the 8" disks could store up to 1.2mb! Anyhow floppy disks for games back in my day were slow and a pain in the arse and occasionally bad sectors occur on them corrupting them and I lost games I bought from a computer store because of this which sucked!

As an input device paper was used because debounce circuits hadn't been invented so you couldn't type in information without giant numbers of errors. There are no videos that cover this incredibly useful circuit that allowed us to move out of punch cards. In most modern devices, this same function is now usually done by software, like in your smart phone's keyboard. Crucial invention; never mentioned.

In the late 60s and early 70s Univac 1108s came with two types of drum memory. The first was head per track and was used to store things like OS overlays and temp files when doing a compile. The second was a long cylinder (6ft or so) with a single moving head where seeks took a loong time...
