Nostalgia indeed.  I used to have 3 of these 
<http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/3033/3033_241902.html> in my 
12,000 sq. foot machine room with 4" diameter de-ionized water cooling 
pipes running under the floor.

The largest single storage device was a "drum" storage unit of 5GB 
capacity.  It was about the size of a very large refrigerator and, IIRC, 
cost about USD 3 million.  It could read/write 3MB/second or maybe 1/5th 
or thereabouts of a good CF card.  Can't remember the model number. 
Just as well forgotten.  :-)
