The Original Google Computer Storage


This image shows the first Google storage system. In 1996 Google had its headquarters in one of the founders' dorm. At that time 4 GigaByte hard disks were the largest available, so they assembled 10 of these drives into a low-cost LEGO cabinet.

The equipment is currently on display at the Stanford University Museum.

It's so fun! But it isn't at the museum - it's at the Gates building on campus.
