# That looks like an IBM 3380
It was introduced in the early 1980s I think. We had quite a few in our mainframe room.
edit: 1980, capacity 2.5 GB (so I assume it's either not a 3380 or the label is wrong)
Anyway, it's a mainframe DASD, so it's a bit unfair to compare it with an SD card, which would burn up and die if you tried to give it the punishment these babies used to take.
