Well, it's been a few years, James, so I could be misremembering. Now that
I think about it (always a bad sign), I think it was 3344. Unlike the
5445s, it was hermetically sealed; once it was put into the disk drive, you
could see it get "sucked in" and the connectors on the back melded into the
connectors in the drive's mechanism.
While the disk itself was kinda heavy and cumbersome, physically it wasn't
very big, but the drive unit was about the size of a washing machine. Boss'
sun was in one Saturday while we were running some tests. Sonofabitch if
the power switch on those drives weren't at the same height as a
4-year-old's eyeballs! Whee!
