Really, really interesting stuff. Look at the size of that system -- wow!

At one time I had a Micro Mainframe dual floppy drive, and couldn't believe how big it was. Now look at the IDE +2 (with a flash card, no less).

Got the new 20MB Corvus drives in - and they are HUGE! The original 5MB and 10MB Corvus drives are much smaller in comparison.

All enclosed in a transparent plastic so you can see the triple platter and seek arm in action.
