+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.

Let's say you had the theoretical maximum (2.88Megabytes). GTA V has 94 GB,or 96,256 MB (1GB=1024 MB). That results in 96,256/2.88 which is 33,422. You would need 33,422 floppy disks to run GTA. I know I'm late,but I don't care

" The Compact Cassette or Musicassette (MC), also commonly called the tape cassette, cassette tape, audio cassette, or simply tape or cassette, is an analog _magnetic_ tape recording format for audio recording and playback." Also floppy disks are just cassette tapes as a rotating disk instead of a long strip. Still wasn't too far off.

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.

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.

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.

I worked on a system that used cards and drum storage in the early 80's. And the drum held about 700K bytes. It also had core memory. Each card that was about 18 inch square held 1024 Bits. It took 16 cards to hold 1K words.

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.

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.

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.
