This exhibit is a hard drive, which is intended for the retail market and could therefore be found in usual home computers. It offered an average memory size and data transfer while it already had a cache of 24 kB. Even today it is still trading, but rather to collectors than to normal use, since their performance is not sufficient for daily needs anymore.
