Explanation
IBM invented the first hard disk drive (HDD) in 1956 as part of the RAMAC (Random Access Method of Accounting and Control) system. The RAMAC 350 stored 5 MB of data on 50 24-inch platters and was the size of two refrigerators. IBM's innovation made random access to large amounts of data possible, revolutionizing data storage.
