We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "HDD",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Motor controller takes charge of HDDs from
STMicroelectronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Controller integrates all circuits required to drive both spindle and voice-coil motors, plus the motor drive power FETs and multiple high-efficiency voltage regulators".
The day before,
we featured the news release PC instrumentation for very high speed signals from
Dataquest Solutions: "Capturing and/or generating megahertz signals with a computer based system need not be a complicated process, but it does require careful planning, says Mike Montague, MD of Dataquest Solutions".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Panasonic Industrial Europe
concerning its New-generation UniPhier
- take a look at Codec features in HD video recorders
which says: "New-generation UniPhier uses the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 next-generation codec".
Take a look also at the news release from Adlink Technology, CompactPCI boards meet military needs,
as well as Compact barebone system has nano outline from Advansus,
and Miniature HDDs boost mobile storage density from Toshiba Europe Storage Device Division.
