The History of External Hard Drives and Portable Backup Systems
Hard Drive history- portable and externalHard drives, also known as hard disk drives (HDDs) were a technology thought up by IBM- and they dominated the market for nearly 30 years.
They discovered a need for this type of technology in 1953, and the first hard drive was invented and then patented in 1956. The first model was produced in IBM’s San Jose, California laboratory.
Hard drive technology has changed to meet commercial needs since then, and they’ve also become a lot easier to use.
External hard disk drives that were once the size of refrigerator units are now merely inches long and can store several gigabytes- and now terabytes- of data.
