description The hard drive is at the heart of a new generation of audio and video devices. The hard drive, invented by IBM 45 years ago, is beginning to appear in digital-audio devices and complementing the CD. IBM invented the RAMAC 305 in 1956. The cost, space and weight to store a byte of data has dropped more than a millionfold since then. Today, hard drives for desktop PCs are selling at $2 to $3 per gigabyte. With more than 95% of all hard drives going into PCs today, expertise in designing a hard drive into a non-PC product is a novelty. The advantages of designing this digital storehouse into your next consumer-electronics device are examined.
