Abstract

A high speed, small diameter disk storage system having a plurality of disk drive devices utilizing disks with a nominal 65 mm diameter rotated at a speed of approximately 10,000 RPM which can be optimally arranged in a four drive system to match the space geometry of the traditional half-high flexible disk drive used in a personal computer.
