The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. New theory, new controllers, actuators, sensors, new industrial processes, computer methods, new applications, new philosophies , new challenges. Much of this development work resides in industrial reports, feasibility study papers and the reports of advanced collaborative projects. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of such new work in all aspects of industrial control for wider and rapid dissemination. Hard disk drive systems are ubiquitous in todayâs computer systems and the technology is still evolving. There is a review of hard disk drive technology and construction in the early pages of this monograph that looks at the characteristics of the disks and there it can be read that: âbit density⦠continues to increase at an amazing rateâ, âspindle speed⦠the move to faster and faster spindle speeds continueâ, âform factors⦠the trendâ¦is downward⦠to smaller and smaller drivesâ, âperformance⦠factors are improvingâ, âredundant arrays of inexpensive disks⦠becoming increasingly common, and is now seen in consumer desktop machinesâ, âreliability⦠is improving slowly⦠it is very hard to improve the reliability of a product when it is changing rapidlyâ and finally âinterfaces⦠continue to create new and improved standards⦠to match the increase in performance of the hard disks themselvesâ. |
