Abstract :
By examining trends in disk technology, performance, reliability, and price and comparing those trends to those of competing technologies, the authors conclude that magnetic disks will be useful for the foreseeable future. Key to the survival of magnetic disks is the use of low-cost logic and memory to enhance the performance and function of the disk subsystem, and rapid adaptation of disk technology to the changing requirements for storage
