A Look Under Western Digital's Hood

Tom's Hardware got a rare opportunity to explore the Western Digital campus and show us what goes on under the hood of one of the favorites in storage tech. "When you buy a car, you look under the hood. Given the critical importance of hard disk storage in all of our lives, we thought you might want a peek under that hood, too. Now that Western Digital is in the business of breaking new capacity records (the latest Caviar Green was the first drive to hit 2TB, for example), we jumped at the chance to take a first-ever, unrestricted tour of its California R&D facilities. This is the place where magnetic technology of the 1950s meets the nano- and quantum-level technologies of the current decade."

Careful... what if you open the hard disk and there's a mouse inside who's been remembering it all for you? Then he sees you and realizes "Oh, crap, we need to do the experiment all over. Vogons! Oh, Vogons! Where are you...."

And then. Will come. The poetry.

I don't know but I'd guess the "thought" that goes into them is something like:

(1) keeps foreign crap out of clean rooms
(2) costs as little as possible ....
