Hard disk packs and cartridges in different sizes:
- 14" Disk pack is a removable cartridge with hard-drive platters used in 60s and 70s for storage of first IBM computers. This one has 5 hard-disk platters and capacity 80 MB. The platters were hidden in the protection cover (blue-transparent case).
- 14" Hard disk cartridge with single platter and capacity usually from 1 to 5 MB. The case had only a small opening in the front for magnetic head and it was not possible to remove platter from protection case.
- 8" Hard disk cartridge is a smaller version of previous one and offers more capacity (e.g. 25 MB)
- 5,25" and 3,5" HD cartridges were produced in 80s and 90s and they offered significantly more storage space for data (hundreds MB or even many GB). At the end of 90s e.g. JAZ from Iomega or SpartQ from SyQuest were very popular.
