IBM 1311 disk storage drive
 
The IBM 1311 Disk Storage Drive provided storage for two million characters. Debuting in 1962, the 1311 used the IBM Disk Pack -- an interchangeable package containing six 14-inch-diameter disks in a four-inch stack, weighing 10 pounds. Some analysts believe that the removable disk pack not only led to a new phase of disk storage but signaled the passing of the punched card era.
