Abstract
For a long time bulk storage memories have included two basically different types of components. At one end of the speed/cost spectrum have been the disc, tape, or drum memories, and at the other end has been the semiconductor random access memory, with very little between them. Magnetic bubble memories are being used to somewhat fill the gap between these two extremes in cost and performance. The larger capacity of medium size hard-disc systems enables them to achieve a low cost per bit1.
