Technical Information on Hard Disk Drives and PCs PC Guide gives a lot of basic technical information on the PC as well as various data storage devices. Magazines, Newspapers and Journals To Keep up-to-date with the latest data storage technology, gossip and business visit (and subscribe) to the free magazine Data Storage. Even more recent late-breaking news can often be found in the EETimes. Most of the technical articles on data storage appear in IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, IEEE Transactions on Communications and IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. Your company or university probably has these in their library already. If not, visit IEEE. They are working on getting the papers on-line for subscribers (the OPeRA database). Patent Searches To quickly search patents and review their abstracts, go the US Patent and Trademark Office site. They now offer full text of the patents, too (not just the abstracts). Some tips: To focus on data storage, restrict your searches to class 360 (although, there are data storage patents under other classes as well). To download and print the figures you will need a special viewer which can be selected from the PTO site. We chose CPC View (www.cartesianinc.com), which works great, except the free evaluation copy prints an advertising banner at the bottom of every page. Presumably this goes away if you purchase the software. To search for a patent over a range of dates, the PTO help explains how to specify Filing or Issue dates as search criteria. It is also possible to obtain the complete patent, including figures, over the web, by Delphion. Searchstorage.com Searchstorage is a custom search engine, focused exclusively on data storage sites.
