Japan“s Toshiba and IBM of the United States have adopted glass hard disks for all the 2.5-inch hard disks equipped in their own notebook computers. In fact, demand for glass hard disks as a memory medium for personal computers is increasing rapidly. While aluminium used to be the most common substrate material, now it is glass that is taking over. Compared to aluminium, glass is ideal for greater memory capacity needs and it has strong anti-shock properties. Since, however, cost is the problem, the industry sees glass use growing in specific markets, such as in the above-mentioned notebook personal computers.
