    How on Earth did they develop CD-ROM holding 650MB in 1982?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 11:13 PM PDT

    It's kind of amazing to me that the CD dates back to 1982. So they invented an optical disc and the drives/readers for it that could store 600MB of information. In 1982. When a 20MB HDD cost $5000 (1982 dollars). I'm sure it was all extremely expensive in the beginning, but even in the late 80s and early 90s, it was a stupendous amount of information on a medium that was fully commoditized.

    So it must have been normal for a $5 CD to hold 3x the amount of data as your $300 HDD in the early 90s. That's just incredibly odd to me, it's like in this one area of computer technology they leapfrogged everything else by 15 years. It's like if Sony casually invented a 1 PB disc today and it cost $5 in 3 years. People were using 1.44MB floppies and 650MB CDs concurrently as if they had any business coexisting in the same decade. CDs really seem like someone dropped alien technology on the Earth in the 80s. The fact that even today 700MB is not a totally negligible amount of data is amazing considering it's been almost 40 years since the invention of the CD.

    So how on Earth did they do this when they could barely fit 20MB in a giant 5.25" HDD in 1982.
