Many moons ago, when I used to work we had these very large disk drives,
they did not have (by today's standards) a large capacity either. These
drives were very prone to "head crashes", that is the heads touched the
disk instead of skimming just over the surface. As a result not only did
the heads have to be replaced but the discs re-polished, which was a job
and a half. Thankfully it was never my task to do this.
