Disk packs and disk cartridges were early forms of removable media for computer data storage, introduced in the 1960s.
An early disk cartridge was a single hard disk platter encased in a protective plastic shell.
The disk cartridge was a direct evolution from the disk pack drive, or the early hard drive.
High-density 3 -inch disks avoided this problem by the addition of a hole in the disk cartridge so that the drive could determine the appropriate density.
Additionally the removable hard disk cartridges included a 5-Year Warranty.
The 5200 Optical Storage Facility contains two disk drives and an automatic changer for up to 32 disk cartridges.
It stored approximately 2.5 MB on a 14", single-platter IBM-2315-style front-loading removable disk cartridge.
