System Overview
The D2246 is a new addition to the NEe D2200 series of disk drives. It is a compact,
highly reliable, low-cost unit and is fully compatible with earlier D2200 models. It offers
85 megabytes (MB) of unformatted data storage on four 8-inch platters. Actual storage
capacity depends upon the formatting method used.
1.1 D2246 SYSTEM DESIGN
The D2246 uses fixed-disk, Winchester-type technology, which provides the most
advanced method of storing and retrieving large amounts of data. Each D2246 disk drive
contains four 8-inch platters sealed within a protective, air-tight enclosure. This enclo-
sure protects the recording piatters from atmospheric dust and dirt to improve opera-
tional reliability. A spindle, a drive motor, a rotary actuator assembly, and movable
read/write heads are also contained within the enclosure. Figure 1-1 shows the major
components of the D2246.
