  Early IBM disk storage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A major advance over the IBM 350 and IBM 1405 was the use of a separate arm and head for each recording surface, with all the arms moving in and out together like a big comb.
The IBM 3330 DASD was the first disk drive to use voice coil motor technology to position the read/write heads over the tracks of data.
IBM needed a way to load new microcode into the 370 and developed the floppy disk for this purpose.

 IBM 3850 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IBM 3850 Mass Storage System was an online tape library used to hold large amounts of infrequently accessed data.
Originally the system was going to be used as a directly attached memory device, but as the speed of computers grew in relation to the storage, the product was re-purposed as an automated system that would offload little-used data from hard disk systems.
The data was accessed via one or two IBM 3330 disk drives, the data being transferred automatically between cartridge and disk drive in processes called staging and destaging.

 Thin-film inductive heads
The earliest IBM inductive single-turn [18] and multi-turn [13] heads were made with plated copper recording gaps, and it was soon recognized that a more durable gap material was desirable.
Epoxy bonding could have been used, but manufacturing experience with epoxy bonding, particularly with the IBM 2314 head [20], had shown such bonds to be subject to slippage, causing displacement of the heads with respect to the air bearing.
IBM introduced the first inductive thin-film head in the disk drive industry with the shipment of the IBM Model 3370 DASD in 1979.

The IBM 3330 was a high-performance, high-capacity direct access storage subsystem for use with all IBM System/370 models as well as the IBM System/360 Model 195.
The subsystem could be attached to System/370 Models 135 though 168 via the IBM 3830 Storage Control Model 2 or to the Integrated Storage Control on the Model 145, 158 or 168 The Integrated Storage Control on Models 158 and 168 could attach two subsystems, each with up to 16 drives.
A 3330 subsystem included standard checking and retry features that increased system reliability and availability for batch processing and data base applications.

Cartridges were cataloged on and staged to a set of four IBM 3330 disks, more or less transparently to the user.
Cartridges were fetched from the honeycomb by a mechanical hand at the intersection of travelling X and Y wire cables, brought to a reader/writer that unspooled the magnetic tape.
At left center are two IBM 3830 control units and the four 3350 staging disks (which ran in 3330 mode because the MSS software didn't support 3350s).

The IBM 3330 Data Storage (seen here in a design model) was a high-performance, high-capacity direct access storage subsystem for use with all IBM System/370 models as well as the IBM System/360 Model 195.
Each 3330 subsystem could have from two to 16 drives, giving users up to 1.6 billion bytes of online storage.
Developed and manufactured at IBM's facilities in San Jose, Calif., the 3330 was announced in 1970 and withdrawn from marketing 13 years later.

 History of Computing at Cornell - Lyle Wadell
An IBM 101 unit was obtained in 1952 at the time H.W. Carter took over management of what had now grown to 3 employees.
In 1953 an IBM 602A calculator was added (being the first unit on campus that could multiply and divide) and an IBM 402 tabulator.
During 1960 the IBM 650 became overloaded and an IBM 1620 was added to help by removing some of the research from the IBM 650.

However algebraic laws for query optimization were not formulated here.(3) With this model though it became possible to work with data represented as a form to fill out without having to tell the computer how to store and were to find it back.
IBM gave the storage facility headed by Shugart the assignment to create such a medium (floppy) in 1967.
The system where it is first implemented or announced for is the IBM 370 (1971) mainframe computer's storage unit IBM 3330, first released in 1970.

The IBM 3850 Mass Storage System was designed as an online tape library to hold infrequently accessed data.
The MSS (as it was known) consisted of a library of cylindrical plastic cartridges, two inches wide and four inches long, each holding a spool of tape 770 inches long.
The largest model could hold 4,720 cartridges - the equivalent of 2,360 IBM 3330 disk drives (about 236 billion bytes of data).

The 3330 specification called for a minimum of 110-byte "dummy" blocks in order to succesfully perform a head switch and read the next record on a different track (and not incure a rotational "miss"...
It was possible in the migration from 3330 to 3380 to re-org relatively statically allocated high activity and low activity for load balancing across all 3380 drives and at the same time to order placement within 3380 to minimize arm travel (tending to allocate from middle of the disk in bands out towards the edges).
By comparison, IBM mainframes of the same generation in the same price range (around $6M in 1975 dollars, when that was real money) would support several hundred users with reasonable response times.

In general, we and IBM have to determine if it is worth evolving the mainframe rather than working toward migrating to platforms that don't have many of the limitations we face.
IBM had channel attached FBA disks a long time ago (the 3370 was the last one).
since ibm also produced the terminals, you actually wouldn't have to use the retail list price; if it was market downturn and customers weren't buying all the terminals anyway, then the terminals might otherwise be in warehouse and so using the terminals might not actually hit the bottom line at all.
