A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using...

engineers at IBM's San Jose California laboratory invented the hard disk drive. The disk drive created a new level in the computer data hierarchy, then termed...

A hard disk drive failure occurs when a hard disk drive malfunctions and the stored information cannot be accessed with a properly configured computer...

Higher performance in hard disk drives comes from devices which have better performance characteristics. These performance characteristics can be grouped...

and quality. End effector Hard disk drive actuator Linear actuator Load cell Microactuator Nanotube nanomotor Robot actuators Torque motor Escudier, Marcel;...

magnetic disk storage devices from 1956 to 2003, when it sold its hard disk drive business to Hitachi. Both the hard disk drive (HDD) and floppy disk drive (FDD)...

The Jaz drive is a removable hard disk storage system sold by the Iomega company from 1995 to 2002. Following the success of the Iomega Zip drive, which...

changes to the disk's surface layer. A disk drive is a device implementing such a storage mechanism. Notable types are hard disk drives (HDD), containing...

storage, a disk buffer (often ambiguously called a disk cache or a cache buffer) is the embedded memory in a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD)...

is also called solid-state disk because it is frequently interfaced to a host system in the same manner as a hard disk drive (HDD). An SSD is often used...

A linear actuator is an actuator that creates linear motion (i.e., in a straight line), in contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric...

A disk read-and-write head is the small part of a disk drive which moves above the disk platter and transforms the platter's magnetic field into electric...

similar to a hard disk drive. A linear actuator uses the voice coil actuation technology related to modern hard disk drives. The original Zip drive has a maximum...

arises from the unexpected movement of the disk's read/write actuator. At startup, and during use, the disk head must move correctly and be able to confirm...

warp or deform when heated. Their first drives had the base plate carrying the disks, head arm and actuator enclosed inside a long aluminum cartridge...

in computer hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs). Its primary function is to detect and report various indicators of drive reliability...

announced a system using this drive as well, but later changed plans to use 3½-inch diskette drives instead. A magnetic disk in a hard plastic shell was invented...

hysteresis loop. Examples of digital recording are floppy disks, hard disk drives (HDDs), and tape drives. HDDs offer large capacities at reasonable prices;...

that can be stored on a magnetic device such as a hard disk drive by temporarily heating the disk material during writing, which makes it much more receptive...

Research Center in San Jose. He wanted to create a small form factor hard disk drive with high capacity storage that would be used for mobile devices, after...
