This "dual drive" capacity is common for reconnaissance vehicles.

The drive capacity was either 1 or 1.5 gigabytes depending upon the model.

As hard drive capacity grows, the need for a high-speed data transfer method also increases.

The two can be somewhat differentiated because earlier Recorder models came with the smaller hard drive capacities: 6, 10, or 15gb.

The drive capacity was usually stated under conditions of full track record blocking.

The hard drive industry continues to use decimal prefixes for drive capacity.

Changers were in a period when the mean hard drive capacity was measured in hundreds of megabytes.

Significant increases in drive capacity over the last few years have made proper data backup difficult, time-consuming, and expensive via traditional tapes.

And as hard drive capacity explodes, the consequences of catastrophic failure mushroom.

The 3" form factor allowed a larger drive capacity for laptops with the existing technology.
