The History of Digital Storage

My team likes to joke with me about my love of infographics. I find them to be a great communication tool with fascinating tidbits of information and “things that make you say hmm…” (© Arsenio Hall)

I really enjoyed the nostalgia of this graphic highlighting the history of digital storage. If you work for a company like Seagate, storage tends to be top of mind. (That and when that sushi chef is coming back to the cafeteria.)  Let’s hold hands and whistle a happy tune as we take a stroll down memory lane looking at “archaic tech” like the cassette tape (660KB), the Digital Audio Tape (DAT – 1.3GB) and the Zip disk (100MB).

Thanks, Mashable, for another nifty graphic.

    This is actually a great info specially how the storage transformation came from.. I think storage became smaller ang the file allocated size become larger…maybe in the near future it became like a rice grain..

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.
