QUÉ SIGNIFICA WINCHESTER DISK EN INGLÉS
Historia de las unidades de disco magnéticas de IBM
IBM fabricó dispositivos de almacenamiento de disco magnético de 1956 a 2003, cuando vendió su negocio de unidades de disco duro a Hitachi. Tanto la unidad de disco duro como la unidad de disquete fueron inventadas por IBM y, como tales, los empleados de IBM fueron responsables de muchas de las innovaciones en estos productos y sus tecnologías. La disposición mecánica básica de las unidades de disco duro no ha cambiado desde la IBM 1301. El rendimiento y las características de la unidad de disco se miden con los mismos estándares ahora que en los años cincuenta. Pocos productos en la historia han disfrutado de tan espectaculares declinaciones en costo y tamaño junto con mejoras igualmente dramáticas en capacidad y rendimiento. IBM fabricó unidades de disquete de 8 pulgadas desde 1969 hasta mediados de los 80, pero no fue un fabricante significativo de unidades de disco de tamaño más pequeño. IBM siempre ofreció sus unidades de disco magnético para la venta pero no las ofreció con los términos y condiciones originales del fabricante del equipo hasta 1981. En 1996, IBM había dejado de hacer unidades de disco duro exclusivas a sus sistemas y ofrecía todos sus discos duros en una base OEM.
