  controllers. In addition, the distance that data had to travel from the hard drive to the controller resulted in numerous errors, making these early systems unreliable. Eventually, one manufacturer took a 3.5-inch hard drive, mounted it with an AT (Advanced Technology) expansion card, and integrated...
