Dalle schede perforate agli SSD da terabyte: in pochi decenni siamo passati da intere stanze a pochi grammi di memoria.
Una rivoluzione che abbiamo vissuto insieme, attraverso floppy, hard disk e supporti ormai diventati ricordi.
Per chi ha conosciuto i dischetti, ogni formato racconta un pezzo della nostra storia informatica.
Il mio primo amore? Il floppy da 3,5 pollici! E il vostro?
@salvatorelasorella @computer io ho iniziato con le cassette e i floppy disc da 5" e 1/4
@essegi67 @salvatorelasorella @computer anche io cassette e Floppy da 5-1/4 :)
I don’t speak this language, but NAS is older than CD. Back then people had to set it up themselves. It were often dedicated servers with lots of hard disk space, using NFS or NCP, later LAN Manager and Samba/SMB, to share the hard disk space with PCs or other servers. Consumers could build this too, but not from the start. Consumers were and still are often using Linux and BSD for such purposes. The complete NAS boxes consumers can buy now, are just pre-configured mini servers.
@lurch You’re absolutely right, and that’s an important clarification. Network-based storage sharing existed many years before the consumer NAS devices we know today. Initially, it relied on dedicated servers, manually configured and managed by experienced users, often running Linux or BSD. Modern off-the-shelf NAS devices simply made this technology accessible to home users. Another fascinating chapter in the evolution of computing!
