Silly question. :-)  Not only do I remember disk pack drives, I remember
how happy we were to replace ours with Fujitsu Eagle non-disk-pack drives.

(The Eagles were possibly the best disk drives ever made.  Big and fast
for their time, and legendary reliability.  It was common to retire them
after a decade of continuous flawless operation -- still running fine, but
using too much rack space and power, and too obsolete an interface, to be
worth keeping.  Unfortunately, Fujitsu's later drives were another story.)
