This old Fujitsu Hard Disk drive, shown here, dates from  the 1980's. It uses 6 x 8 inch disks and has a storage capacity of under 300Mbs  Three different voltage supplies (5V, -12V, and 24V) are required and the drive consumes around 150W. As seen here, it is housed in a removable caddy. The complete assembly is heavy and only just portable.  The drive is approximately 40cm (16") long.
