1980's Solid State Hard Drive - Biological Storage Device!

[GuyTakashi73]

jiggabytes ftw

[coldlogic1]

he uses jiggawatts to power his jiggabytes.

[MasterTaco666]

lol about 5 more years xD

[TheWhiteRabbit1990]

I wonder what kind of crazy shit they're working on now that we'll hear about in 30 years.

[Zak420]

Yeah no shit!

[lmcgregoruk]

Solid State Hard Drive though?

[FunnyV1d30s]

lol now have all computer least 100 gb space xD

[lmcgregoruk]

not in Solid State they dont.

[hyrael2]

Yes there's SSD of 128 and 256gb ( And even more. )

[lmcgregoruk]

Yes, I know, but not all computer have them. most people just use them as a fast boot drive with their data on another drive :-)

[hyrael2]

Yes. But hey, i got a 70gb used of system partition

[kotaboner42]

dude

you have any idea how huge 100gb was back in the 80s, even for research purposes?

that law about the amount of space a given area of computer chip quadrupling every year. familiar with it?

100gb x 4 x 30

12 terrabytes. purdy big

[BadBrad23]

Poor bastards were clueless... Never would have worked. Hey, were talking about jiggabytes now...

[ARR016a]

u know this video is old when the guy says "jiggabytes" -_- 0_o

[rodaz440]

lol

[rossvallance]

great post, would have loved a 100gb hdd in the 80s, also sound stupid but i loved the anologe distortion, forgot what happens when vhs (and sum times beta) gets a bit damages. great post from the past and apreciate ur time

[BodyKnight]

Reliable.

[HLSDK]

loo jiggabytes

[Ricardodude0]

Holy crap, 100gb!!!?!

I've gotta get myself one of them!!!

[vascularcylinder]

It will be getting harder to find a 100gb HD. Terabyte era is coming.

[Goldernie]

Awesome video! Even the tracking failure gives it a certain flavor..

[pdegameplayer]

adjust your tracking ('_')

[Papachair]

Wow... makes you wonder where they are with that now almost 30 years later..

[cyclist14]

if they were using this now iPod's would need case fans, lol

[cyclist14]

lol, he said jiggabytes

[ExtraTerrestrials]

..ahh.. nostalgia....

[rudyiking]

What, we are just NOW seeing solid state drives. Why did it take so long? I realize this used lasers, and the new drives don't but still you have to wonder.

Interesting way to store data.

[gabydewilde]

It's now military tech. Classified as "to dangerous" for you and me. We cant really know if that is the truth but I'm pretty sure it did happen. Supercomputers still exist.

[zack702]

I don't think the solid state drives are anything like this I have never seen this before. I wonder if it really works and how long do the rhodopsin last.

[Finger2212]

I'm surprised that they could store so much in such a small space back then. Despite the overall shittiness of it, that's still pretty impressive.

[kambingbetula]

thanks god it not happend in 1980, otherwise this world will fill with more porno..LOL..

[DRCozensBassLessons]

amazing

[Finkdog2004]

Wtf? He pronounced GB as jigabytes. gay.

[StrokedGT]

yah like in back to the future, 1.21 jigawatts

[gavincurtis]

Awesome! I heard about this some time ago, but finally get to see it here. Jigabytes? How many Jigawatts does it consume?

[dimcoin]

2.21 and you have to be running your fan at 88 mph or it overheats.

[asmqb]

Wow, jigabytes! I prefer gigabytes (with g as g, not j).

[Tokishedo]

lol back then some people thought that basic hard drives like the one i shredded yesterday where imposible and just a dream in the mind of a scientist...WELL WE SHOWED THOSE 1980 FUCKERS HUH? horay for technology :)

[nexuss666]

Yay technology for all!!!

[StrokedGT]

the same guys that developed these old hard drives probably developed yours. i cant wait for kids in 20 years to laugh at your shitty 00's technology, hahaha

[gabydewilde]

Kinds in those days wrote assembly. Today they click on buttons. In 20 years it will be just like TV. The inventor of the TV dreamed of people giving lectures all over the world. That was 100% successfully prevented just like q-mem and q-computing.

You got an ipod in stead. huhuhu!!

[MarxNutz]

And here I thought a Petabyte was being gnawed on by an animal lover...

[NoobixCube]

Back then magnetic storage was measured in MB - No end user could probably have ever comprehended needing more than say 20MB, much like we today probably wouldn't be able to fill a hard drive of a few Peta Bytes (A Peta Byte is 1024 Terra Bytes, kids :P)

[LoparXL]

100 gigs must have been utterly astonishing in scope back then, considering how small the the computer files usually were (to most end users, that is).

[JaguarSteaksauce]

from 1980? Try to imagine what they are keeping from you now.

[etatauri]

speedojoe - nice back to the future reference lol

wow. this is cool technology

[Night51501]

Great Scott!

[idmclaren]

VERY interesting! Jiggabytes did make me laugh also :)

[SpeedoJoe]

1.21 jiggawatts!

[OrielFilms]

great scott

[jaydubb2]

that was a cool look back. thanks man!

100 jiggabytes!!! amazing!
