Guess What This Is

This came across to me via email and I thought it was very interesting. However, instead of posting the text that goes along with the image, I wanted to see if any of you could guess what kind of equipment this is. The first person to get it right earns 10,000 LEET points. If I see that no one is coming close to the answer, I’ll be adding hints to the commenting section of this post.

    1. The first black box?


    2. @utahcon No, but the first hint is that it’s a piece of HARDWARE. One of the first actually.

    3. Woooo! It’s the IBM 305 RAMAC. The first computer with a HDD.

      The HDD apparently weighed a ton and only had 5mb of storage.

      Am I right?


    4. @Mike I wish you weren’t but yes, you are right. Damn you.
