This was in my old comp being repaired. They said it was broken, so they're going to add a new one. It's so big O-O

Those drives are not that old , Quantum (later became Maxtor),
Made a while such drives because they were faster then the 3 1/2 drives.

But they are making more noise, take more place in the case , ....
Later the speed of the drives went higher because teh rotation speed went to 7200.
With a 5 1/4 inch drive 7200 drives doesn't exist , probaly mechanical problems to make them.

Compaq used to place those drives in the P3 computers.

I have a picture somewhere of the worlds first hard disk. Yours is nothing compared to that. It weighed a tonne, and could store a huge 5Mb.
