The Random Access Method of Accounting and Control (RAMAC), a computer storage system using magnetic disks, was first introduced by IBM in 1956.
It was a ground-breaking invention that helped create modern data storage systems. Up to 5 MB of data could be stored on fifty 24-inch disks by the RAMAC, which was a large amount at the time.
Due to the system’s quick access to and storage of large amounts of data, businesses, and government organizations adopted it widely. It also served as the starting point for the creation of hard disk drives, which are still in use today.
