Hardware Description

Fujitsu developed the MAF3364, MAG3182, and MAG3091 as high-rpm versions (Allegro-5E and Allegro-5LE) of its 3.5-inch magnetic disk units (the Allegro-5 series) intended for high-end systems. These units, which began shipping in January 1999, featured giant magneto-resistive (GMR) heads with higher outputs than conventional MR heads.
