"hard drives the size of washers and dryers, etc." That was much later in the game. The RAMAC was a lot larger. en.wikipedia.org What you are talking about were the 14 inch drives. The industry started to switch to 8 inch drives in the early 1980s and Shugart introduced the first 5.25 inch drives in about the same time frame. Maybe a year or two later.
