Most
people take for granted the
amount of value that magnetic
data storage adds to their
lives. We trust our disk drives
with our financial information,
our treasured family photos
and our digital creations.
Hard disk drives are amazingly
reliable with some achieving
"Mean Time Between Failures"
(MTBF) of 500,000 to 1,000,000
hours. That means that, on
average, a drive fails after
the specified number of hours,
with half the drives lasting
more than that and half lasting
less. To put this into perspective,
500,000 hours is about 57
years. Suspension assemblies
play a critical role in maintaining
this reliability. Suspension
technology has helped further
areal density improvements
giving you the storage you
need to keep your data safe
and help drive our digital
world. Please select from
the topics above to learn
more about these amazing devices.
