Computer History: 5 Significant Inventions in the 1990's

  • IBM introduces the 9345 Hard Disk Drive

    IBM introduces the 9345 Hard Disk Drive
    IBM was the first to create a thin non-magnetic disk drive that allowed the first multi-gigabyte drive. IBM was instantly pushed ahead of their competition. During the 90's era hard disk drives only increased in storage for computers. Today we have multiple way to store information into our computers which is highly important especially for businesses.

  • IBM ThinkPad 700c Version Laptop

    IBM ThinkPad 700c Version Laptop
    The ThinkPad 700c version was the first slim laptop that is light in weight and functions like a computer but is more portable. In the early 1900's the ThinkPad was used in offices for the main reason that you can work in various environments. We can surely say that the ThinkPad made the office much more tolerable to work. Now you even have the capability to work from home or when you out at a coffee shop. This is all due to the innovative idea that IBM now Lenovo took a chance on.
  • The First Commercial Flash Based Solid State Drive (SSD)

    The First Commercial Flash Based Solid State Drive (SSD)
    The SSD drive was created to store and retrieve data from your computer much faster than the traditional hard deices When het first flash SSD came out they held 16 mb to 896 mb. This was only the beginning because based upon the new flash construction of the SSD drive has increased computer storage even more. Today you can find this operating system inside of various computer models.

  • The first Copper based Microprocessor

    The first Copper based Microprocessor
    The copper-based microprocessor was the first to come out with a microprocessor chip that was not made of aluminum. Through this discovery being made copper interconnects are on industry standard that helped our generation develop a faster and compact micro-processing that is essential for the main functions of a computer. Modern day computers would not be as advance or efficient if it was not the innovation of the copper microprocessor chips.
