The first commercial hard disk drive (HDD) was launched by IBM in September 1956. Designated the IBM 350 RAMAC (random access method of accounting and control), it had a capacity of about five megabytes, which was attained by using 50 platters, each 24 inches in diameter. The average data access time was very slow by today's standards, largely because there was only a single head to access to all the platters. IBM's 3340 Winchester disk system, introduced in 1973, was the first HDD to use a sealed head/disk assembly, which substantially improved performance and is now standard.
