Hey if someone told me I could go see the 2025 equivalent of this hard drive being unloaded if probably go take a look.

What would that even be?
The spectacle and witnessing something revolutionary makes the person feel like they're a part of history. A modern equivalent is any time that happens. The article is irrelevant, whether it's a huge hard drive or an artificial heart or a robotic arm or a human dinosaur hybrid being loaded into a cargo crate doesn't matter.
Server rack with a couple of PBs worth of drives in it would probably match the physical size. Or a massive tape archive storage.
