An engine is a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion. Hard disk drives are a storage engine with moving parts and electronics that converts motion into information. At the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California a group of people with a long history in the hard disk drive industry meet and work to preserve the history of information storage technology. They have created a web site that is called The Storage Engine, http://www.computerhistory.org/storageengine/.
The Storage Engine is a companion to the Computer History Museum popular online exhibit “The Silicon Engine: A Timeline of Semiconductors in Computers.” The Storage Engine tells the stories of the people, processes and products that have contributed to some of the most important advances in computer data storage. The Storage Engine features content developed by volunteers in the Storage Special Interest Group (Storage SIG).
