8-, 5.25-, 3.5-, 2.5-, 1.8- and 1-inch HDDs, together with a ruler to show the length of platters and read-write heads A newer 2.5-inch (63.5 mm) 6,495 MB HDD compared to an older 5.25-inch full-height 110 MB HDD. IBM's first hard drive, the IBM 350, used a stack of fifty 24-inch platters and was of a size comparable to two large refrigerators.

2009 - Western Digital is the first to offer a 1 TB hard drive in a 2.5 inch form factor. [57] 2009 – Western Digital ships first HDD with dual stage piezoelectric actuator [58] 2010 – First hard drive manufactured by using the Advanced Format of 4,096‑byte sectors instead of 512‑byte sectors. [59]: Overview
Within a standard hard drive form factor case the encryptor (BC), key store and a smaller form factor, commercially available, hard disk drive is enclosed.. The enclosed hard disk drive's case can be tamper-evident, so when inspected the user can be assured that the data has not been compromised.
A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk [a] is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material.
The word nature of data transfer makes the design of a host bus adapter significantly simpler than that of the precursor HDD controller. CTL-I (Controller Interface) [ 3 ] was an 8-bit word serial interface introduced by IBM for its mainframe hard disk drives beginning with the 3333 in 1972. [ 4 ]
Laptop hard drive platters are made from glass while aluminum platters are often found in desktop computers. [14] [15] In disk manufacturing, a thin coating is deposited on both sides of the substrate, mostly by a vacuum deposition process called magnetron sputtering. The coating has a complex layered structure consisting of various metallic ...
A Hitachi Travelstar 80GN 60GB hard drive (front and back) Travelstar was a brand of 2.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD) that was introduced by IBM in 1994 with the announcement of the Travelstar LP. At 12.5 mm high with two platters , they were available in 360, 540 and 720 MB capacities.
