Look at you with your fancy pants 3 1/4" floppy drive, too good for 5" now are ya?
It was 5¼", then came 3½". But before those tiny things came this beauty that keeps my office door open -

15" 12 platter 512 MB Server Disc from Wang Computers, from around the late '80s.

I had a BT guy in the other week who was so amazed we had this he took a photo, I then put a 4 GB USB flash drive on top of it for reference - it's just slightly bigger than the blue Wang logo in the middle.

That brings back memories of O-level Computer Studies; the teacher passed it around the class saying that you could only take the lid off when it was in the machine. It didn't last half the lesson until she had been proved wrong. (It also brings back memories of having to do backups when I first started work, everyone had to do it but with big gaps so that you basically forgot what you were meant to be doing in between times).

Wow, there's a sort of brutal elegance to it!

Can I be the first to make the 15" Wang joke?
