Abstract
A data storage drive, a method of manufacturing the same, and a drive array that includes multiple such disk storage drives. In one embodiment, the disk storage drive includes: (1) a substrate, (2) a motor located on the substrate, (3) a data storage medium coupled to the motor for movement thereby and (4) a MEMS read arm located on the substrate, having a read head and capable of responding to control signals by moving to cause the read head to traverse portions of the data storage medium thereby to read data therefrom.
