Info: Rare Quantum Hard Drive. The Quantum Bigfoot brand was a series of hard disk drives produced by Quantum Corp. from 1996 through the late 1990s. The Bigfoot series was notable for deviating from the standard form factor for hard drives. While most desktop hard drives at that time used a 3.5-inch physical format, Quantum Bigfoot drives used a larger 5.25-inch form factor more commonly seen in older hard drives, CD-ROM and other optical disc drives. This form factor allowed Quantum to increase the capacity of their hard drives without an increase in data density, thus lowering costs compared to a 3.5-inch drive with the same capacity. It also allowed manufacturers and owners to install the hard drive above or below the optical drive in the computer, as the typical computer had multiple 5.25-inch bays. The second series was the Quantum Bigfoot CY series, introduced around December 1996. Bigfoot CY drives shared the characteristics of a 3,600 RPM spindle speed and an ATA-2 interface connection. These drives had one to three 2.1 GB platters,and were produced in capacities of 2.1 GB, 4.3 GB and 6.4 GB. Their access time was advertised as being "as low as 12ms,"and they had 128 KB of cache. The suggested retail prices were $224, $310 and $395, respectively. The largest drive of the CY series could transfer about 6 MB/sec from the platters when tested with hdparm -t in Linux.
