Ezen az oldalon elolvasható, miért nevezik a merevlemezeket winchesternek :)
"In 1973, IBM introduced the model 3340 disk drive, which is commonly considered to be the father of the modern hard disk. This unit had two separate spindles, one permanent and the other removable, each with a capacity of 30 MB. For this reason the disk was sometimes referred to as the "30-30". This name led to its being nicknamed the "Winchester" disk drive, after the famous "30-30" Winchester rifle. Using the first sealed internal environment and vastly improved "air bearing" technology, the Winchester disk drive greatly reduced the flying height of the disk: to only 17 microinches above the surface of the disk. Modern hard disks today still use many concepts first introduced in this early drive, and for this reason are sometimes still called "Winchester" drives."
Nekem annó, ha jól emlékszem azzal magyarázták a winchester elnevezést, hogy a winchester puskát gyártó cég kezdett merevlemez-gyártásba :)
