Technology we could rely on in the last century.

It started with Winchester Drives then the MFM & the RLL drives, which needed manual parking & low level formatting.
Later it became the three and a half inch Magneto mechanical hard drive.

On my Amiga computers the Fujitsu HDDs spin* at a dizzying 10.000 RPM!

The Fujitsu is an Ultra Wide 68 pins SCSI HDD, with a transfer speed so high my Amiga never had to wait for data from the drive.

The warm composition shows a close-up of a HDD with a series of gold-colored pins on one side, likely a data connector or interface. The device is positioned diagonally, with the pins facing the viewer. The background is dark, with a textured surface that appears to be a fabric, possibly a blanket or a piece of clothing. Behind the device, there is a partially visible blue and white object, which could be a case for electronics or a similar item. The lighting is dim, casting shadows and highlighting the metallic sheen of the pins. The overall composition is simple, focusing on the device and its immediate surroundings, leaving the rest in a simple bokeh
The photograph shows an open hard disk drive (HDD) placed on a dark, textured surface, likely a towel or fabric. The HDD is disassembled, revealing its internal components. The platter, a large, circular metallic disc, is visible in the center, with a shiny surface and some visible scratches. The actuator arm, which moves the read/write head across the platter, is metallic and has a complex structure with several screws and components. The actuator arm is connected to a motor assembly, which is also metallic and has a series of gears and bearings. The casing of the HDD is black, with visible screws and mounting points. The image is well-lit, and warmed up with an 81A warming filter, highlighting the reflective surfaces and mechanical details of the HDD.
