Abstract

There are many types of auxiliary bulk storage devices available on the market now and certainly many more will be available in the future. The second, and in some cases, third generation bulk storage devices are making their appearance on the computer peripheral market now. These devices, much to the surprise of many people, are still rotating magnetic media devices. This paper discusses only state of the art bulk storage devices of the magnetic recording variety. However, since a look at the future is in order, toward the end of the paper, we will attempt to conjecture as to what future memories may look like.
