It’s from back in the days when computers were giant grazing woolly mecha-mammoths. One was caught in the wild, it’s hard drive removed and is now on display at the Drivesavers booth at Macworld.
What gives with the 6GB drive for $400? I can get a 200 GB drive for $110 Canadian got to be even less in the U.S.

I'll wager that would be the worlds smallest Hard Drive, so small you need to have a magnifying glass to see it.
