IBM 2311 disk drive used in the 360 system. The computer filled a large climate-controlled room and ran a batch processing operating system. I learned to code (FORTRAN IV & COBOL) on one of these monsters. I remember waiting over a day for my programs to be batch processed only to find a typo I made on the keypunch machine caused them to crash.
