Have seen things like this when son opens my computer when he cleans it. Mine is getting old but still running, now have an external hard drive that is much bigger than the one in my computer. Sure glad my son can keep me up a running. Really like to do my puzzles!!
Interesting puzzle. I wonder how big this would have to be before we (not me personally) developed solid state technologies. The earliest computers were gigantic because they had to use vacuum tubes and couldn't do many calculations.
