Hint: picture was taken in 1956...
It's a hard disk drive back then with 5 MB of storage.
In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first 'SUPER' computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored a 'whopping' 5 MB of data.
Now can you appreciate your $20, 8 GB, memory stick?
wow.. what's next to come.. heard about Yottabyte?
