Description
IBM's 3340 disk drive and 3348 removable data module which first shipped in 1973 were developed with the project code name "Winchester." The 3340 was first to use “low mass heads, closed environment and lubricated disks”, a concept which came to be known as Winchester technology and was copied in all subsequent disk drive designs. Panel members devised the Winchester method over an extended development period, and also applied it to the next generation disk drive, the IBM 3350, which shipped in 1976 and was widely used in mainframe applications.
