current trends in magnetic disk storage technology. [RADD08] and [ANDE03] provide a
more recent discussion of magnetic disk storage technology.
An excellent survey of RAID technology, written by the inventors of the RAID con-
cept, is [CHEN94]. A good overview paper is [FRIE96]. A good performance comparison of
the RAID architectures is [CHEN96].
[MARC90] gives an excellent overview of the optical storage field. A good survey of
the underlying recording and reading technology is [MANS97].
[ROSC03] provides a comprehensive overview of all types of external memory sys-
tems, with a modest amount of technical detail on each. [KHUR01] is another good survey.
[HAEU07] provides a detailed treatment of LTO.
