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

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.
