Re: [AV Media Matters] Digitizing Audio and Video-ReallyBigPost

The three largest manufacturers of HDDs are Seagate, Maxtor and Western
Digital. All three of these companies have spent a lot of time and
money
increasing the reliability of their HDDs. They have solved the head
crash
problem and the bearing problem. I am not aware of any other major
failure
mechanism. They all use auto-tracking which I invented in 1976.
I have been attending Storage Trade Shows and Conferences and have
learned a
lot about HDDs and LTOs.
All archives must develop a plan for making backups of all electronic
media
and storing them off-site.
