      This was a 1TB hard drive in 1937. It was the largest vertical letter file in the world. 4000 SqFt. with over 3000 drawers 10 feet long managed by 20 workers. Access speed was ~3 minutes per KB.pic.twitter.com/eMOI4vpBRw

      1TB? Pretty sure all of that would git on a 4GB DVD from 2000 with plenty of room to spare, text doesn't take much space digitally

      Tom, indeed. There were images and double sided hand written notes on some records. I think we are closer to 1TB with medium resolution.

          As an aside can you provide sources? It seems every reply is met with “surprise! It had X!” But there’s nothing backing up any of it. For all we know it held only IBM punch cards

          Tom, thanks for asking. In 1937 when this was in full use. 99% of the A4 papers were hand written and double sided. They ran out of room 2 years later. Thus 1TB scans (needed to see the writing and images) I think is accurate. However either way it was the larges vertical file.

          All of Wikipedia in all languages and edit history is 100GB compressed, I doubt that filing system can contain even a % of that even if every paper was a high resolution scan

          Compressed is a very important word there.
