Fast PCs: Can disk drives keep up?
News Serial ATA, the new interface standard for fast-talking disk drives, received a considerable boost this week. The Serial ATA Working Group has published a draft of the 1.0 specification for the new interface for disk drives -- ranging from hard...

Graceful Operation of Disk Drives Under Thermal Emergencies
White Papers Thermal-aware design of disk-drives is an important concern because high temperatures can cause reliability problems. A delay-based approach to adjust the disk seek activities is one DTM solution for normal disk-drives.

The Quantum Leap Within Hard Disk Drives
White Papers Lots of very serious specialized service centres performing data recovery refuse to work with drives if their head-and-disk assembly has been opened; others multiply the cost of their work. This paper provides a brief architecture description, the...

Political correctness puts disk drives in a spin
Talkback They could call them Dominant & Submissive IDE drives. Perhaps they should consider using a set of terms that are more "Alternative Lifestyle inclusive". I'd imagine most tech types would have no difficulty remebering those terms.

Talkback Before going and hitting some manufacturers for labeling items please go and request that to be done by the film/media industry that allows more than labeling in use and available for a large population than what the computer industry does.

Nanotech points way to petabyte disk drives
Talkback the possibly may exist that this could be done but companys will only release them at rate that is optimal for there profits.this could make a peta-harddrive something that would be coming out it 2110.throwing profits aside it seems very possible...

Talkback Perhaps the traditional use of 'male' and 'female' in the building and engineering industries should be treated in the same way ! Where is the end to to all this 'Polical Correctness' gone mad and overzealous controls over our lives, etc.

Political correctness puts disk drives in a spin
Talkback The words "master" and "slave" have been used to label disc drives for ages and they are terms that everyone is familiar with. What an utterly stupid and ridiculous comment! Does Joe Sandoval live in the real world, or did he just dream up this...

Talkback Crazy thought that Master and Slave is not PC. Some officials have too much time on their hands. What could we have instead? Male/Female? Boss/Employee? Keyboard/Computer? People/President - No that doesn't follow!
