"Boss, good news, there's a big good news......" Gao Tian, who has always been a little arrogant, is also happy.

"What's the good news?" Lin Qi was stunned.

"Hard disk storage technology!" Gao Tian said excitedly, "That is, the MR technology introduced in the technical documents that you don't know where you got it last year has been successfully absorbed and digested, so ...... In terms of HDD technology, we have overtaken in corners, and we are even ahead of IBM!"

"What?" Lin Qi couldn't help but be shocked, this is great news, don't look at the mechanical hard disk technology does not sound complicated, and the later development of those companies that manufacture hard disks is not as moisturized as the companies that manufacture CPUs and graphics cards, but the precision of mechanical hard disks is definitely higher than imagined.

Historically, in the 90s, China Great Wall Computer Company, also entered the mechanical hard disk industry, once its domestic hard disk in the domestic market achieved good sales results, however, the international hard disk manufacturers continue to merge sufficiently, the technical threshold is getting higher and higher, the Great Wall's hard disk to adopt a small profit but quick turnover strategy, the profit earned is far from enough to support the investment in the latest technology, as a result, the domestic mechanical hard disk brand is also short-lived.

Is it really not important to have a hard drive? No, later computers can't do without hard drives, even if later SSDs are faster and more powerful!

Mechanical hard disk structure is simple, means that the technology is simple? Wrong, from Wang An to IBM, magnetic storage was relatively simple at the beginning, but the more complex it became, after the 21st century, even if you know the principle and mechanism of mechanical hard disk, but there are fewer and fewer machinery companies that can be manufactured, this is because, the technical threshold continues to improve, hundreds of companies in the entire market, and gradually only a few are left. The vast majority of them are left behind in the critical period of technological upgrading, and have no choice but to be merged or go bankrupt when there is no way!

Strictly speaking, only the United States and Japan have mastered the core manufacturing technology of mechanical hard disks, and their 99% market share is monopolized by Seagate, Hitachi, Toshiba, Western Digital and other companies, as for Samsung, it can only manufacture solid-state drives based on semiconductor technology, and does not have the manufacturing capacity of mechanical hard disks.

Even if this market is not as profitable as manufacturing CPUs and graphics cards, it is also a big gold mine with a growing market. Not only personal computers need to be used, but also, in the future, mainframe computers and servers, who doesn't need mechanical hard disks with larger and larger capacities?

Therefore, the new venture electronics company has been investing in the research and development of mechanical hard disk technology, and trying to achieve corner overtaking through technological breakthroughs and get the opportunity to enter the market!

HDDs are technologically advanced and easy to understand – my large capacity is definitely the lead. Users can save money to buy cheap HDDs, so they will definitely not pay for expensive HDDs.

Moreover, Lin Qi is not worried about the mechanical hard disk market, as long as it is of reliable quality and cost-effective, it completely relies on its products that need to use hard disks - Pangu host and Phoenix arcade machine to bundle sales.

At the same time, the PC market, the Apple market, and other platforms are of course also under consideration. Although these computers will be the opponents of the Pangu host, it is obviously the result that Lin Qi is willing to see by making some money from the competitors.

……

November 11, 1983, a day that originally had no special meaning, after years of adding concepts and momentum to new start-up electronics companies, gradually began to have the title of "Innovation Festival".

Every year, new start-ups and their business partners try to come up with a new product that has never been available before. Including handhelds, CD players, CD-ROM, VCD and other new products.

On the new year's Double 11, the whole machine displayed this year is a high-end arcade phoenix", and the machine with a price of up to 20,000 US dollars is destined to be impossible to reach the homes of half of the users.

However, there are still thousands of hardcore arcade players around the world who have brought the "Phoenix" arcade machine home to experience the thrill of the world's most high-performance gaming machine.

"The arcade machine of the Phoenix platform adopts a design similar to that of a mainframe computer, and the motherboard can be plugged into multiple CPUs and multiple cores in parallel, so as to improve the overall computing performance, and it is precisely because of this that it can run some large-scale game programs that other game platforms cannot bring at all, so it can be easily realized...... "Lin Qi's spirited promotion company's flagship product, "and ...... Recently, we have made a huge breakthrough in the technology of mechanical hard disks. Currently, hard disk heads on the market have a storage density of less than 10MB per inch of capacity, but ...... The MR technology we invented can theoretically increase the storage capacity by dozens of times. Even now, we can come up with high-density and cost-effective hard drives that cost one-fifth of the market peers...... The market price of mechanical hard disks over 100MB is currently at least $2,000, but ...... We launched a 128MB HDD for only $299 and a 256MB HDD for $899......"

The whole scene was in an uproar!

Hard drives have long been an expensive storage tool for mainframe computers and high-end minicomputers.

In 79, employees of IBM's hard disk division left to found Seagate, Seagate and Wang An developed a new 5.25-inch mechanical hard disk size, the mechanical hard disk from more than 10 inches, the weight can reach tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms, reduced to a small size hard disk that can be loaded into a satellite computer, at the beginning of the personal computer mechanical hard disk storage capacity is only 5MB, only equivalent to the capacity of a few floppy disks, but the price can reach more than 500 US dollars. As a result, the vast majority of personal computers will not be equipped with mechanical hard disks, because, if it is installed, it will greatly increase the cost of the whole machine.

After the establishment of companies such as Seagate, the main direction was personal computers.

The hard disk market on the mainframe computer is still monopolized by IBM, and its 1GB mainframe hard disk is more than 50 kilograms, and the price of this 1GB mainframe hard disk is as high as more than 10,000 US dollars, and the price has not been reduced for a long time, but it has not affected its best-selling for ten years, and it is the sales champion almost every year.

If the 256MB hard disk is only sold for 899 US dollars, the storage capacity of four such hard disks is equivalent to the hard disk of IBM's IGB mainframe computer, and the price is only 3600 US dollars!

Of course, Lin Qi then announced: "Since we have not properly resolved the production problem for the time being, the launch date of this hard drive has not yet been decided, but friends on the scene can buy about 50 limited edition hard drives......

Although, the media and fans present were a little disappointed that they couldn't be listed in the short term, what do you say?

However, they soon joined the race for a limited edition hard drive...... After all, from the point of view of cost performance, you must have earned money when you bought it!
