Abstract
The disk drive is still a central component for most computing systems -ranging from mobile devices and digital audio/video equipment to laptops, supercomputers and Internet systems. Storage needs continue to escalate, and, although flash memory is starting to replace conventional hard-drives at the PC level, disk-based units continue to be the mainstay of storage systems. In this article, the author looks back at IBM's pioneering work in this vital technology.
