"On September 13, 1956 a small team of IBM engineers in San Jose introduced the first computer disk storage system."

"1970 - The floppy disk, which ushered in the era of data portability and desktop computing."

"1964 - Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC), which allowed a system to check itself for errors and correct most errors automatically."
