REMOVABLE HARD DISK

RK02 and RK03 are removable magnetic storage disk drives with moving heads, which were marketed by DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) but designed and manufactured by Diablo Systems, a company later acquired by Xerox. They were inspired by IBM 2315 removable disk drive. The disk drives were used in the DEC PDP family of minicomputers and, together with the disk controller and the DECpack cartridges, they formed a complete mass storage system, able to offer a cost-effective solution for the storing of large volumes of random access data.
