Here is my old Quantum model 2040 34 meg 8 inch MFM hard drive.

Picked this unit up from ARE surplus way back in the day. It came out of a giant rack mount system. Some of the paperwork that was with it suggested that it came from the Davis Bessie nuclear power plant. I did not get the controller with it, most of the rack was all ready scrapped out.

We used to bring this to computer shows and use it to attract a crowd and more customers to our table/s. When you power it up the old bearings would make all sorts of noise!
