O que é uma Unidade Bernoulli?

Bem me parecia que era coisa antiga... lol ...1983...

• O princípio de Bernoulli (desenvolvido pelo matemático suíço Daniel Bernoulli, no século XVIII) inspirou um dispositivo de armazenamento incomum, criado nos anos 80. Ele era diferente porque possuía a mesma capacidade de armazenamento dos discos rígidos da época, mas o disco podia ser removido, tal qual um disquete. O Bernoulli Box, como é chamado, possui capacidade ilimitada de armazenamento de massa (grandes volumes de dados) sendo mais conveniente que as unidades de disco flexível.

• Bernoulli drive - Made by Iomega and invented by a scientist named Bernoulli, a Bernoulli drive is just like a floppy diskette however the internal disk disk is much more rugged and capable of running faster and holding more. However, still not as fast as a hard disk drive. Bernoulli disks were commonly available in 5, 10, and 20MB size and was even available up to 230MB. This drive was later replaced by the Iomega Zip drive.

• The Bernoulli Box (or simply Bernoulli) is a high-capacity removable disk storage system that was Iomega's first popular product. It was released in 1983. The drive spins a PET film disk at about 3000 rpm, 1 micrometre over a read-write head, utilizing Bernoulli's principle. The disk cartridges are 13.6 cm wide, 14 cm long and 0.9 cm thick, and have a similar external appearance to 3½-inch floppy disks. Bernoulli disks come in the following capacities: 35 MB, 44 MB, 65 MB, 90 MB (late 1980s), 105 MB, 150 MB, and in 1994, 230 MB. There are four types of drives, grouped by the maximum readable capacity: 44 MB, 90 MB, 150 MB, and 230 MB.
