RK05
The RK05 was a moving head magnetic disk drive manufactured by the
Digital Equipment Corporation of Maynard,
Massachusetts. It stored approximately 2.5 MB on a 14", single-platter
IBM-2315-style front-loading removable disk cartridge.
Occupying 10.5 inches of space in a standard 19 inch computer rack, the drive was competitive at the time but would now be viewed as laughably small, having only twice the storage capacity of a typical
floppy disk.
