Western Digital Caviar 1210
Pressing "L" will make it easier to read the label.

The Flickr Lounge: Weekly Challenge #50 - Old Stuff lying around
Inside of a Western Digital Caviar 1210 Hard Drive manufactured 29 July 1994.
At that stage the capacity was a massive 212.6 MB.
(If I am lucky I will be able to save 4 of my Canon 5Div *.CR2 RAW Files on it!)
To put that into perspective:
1024 MB in a Gigabyte.
Today we buy hard drives designated in Terrabytes and there are 1024 GB in a Terrabyte.
The platter is about 94mm in diameter and is a very highly reflective goldish dark brown.
It is somewhat reminiscent of an old record player, isn't it?
