Page 4 © Copyright 2003 Storage Technology Corporation (StorageTek) Magnetic Disk › Technology leader (areal density) › Aggressive storage density growth rate continues but more slowly – 100+% CAGR to 60% or even less CAGR predicted – Still a “spoiler” for other storage technologies › Continued areal density progress influenced by superparamagnetic effect – New approaches to media, heads required, applied, in development Research claims up to 50 Tb/in 2 !? › Consumer products effect development, market, cost e.g. “ATA-class disk” › ATA-class (low-cost) disk can support commercial data processing environment – Utilized in StorageTek’s “BladeStore” disk subsystem with fiber channel rates M. Leonhardt 4-9-02 CAGR: Compound Annual Growth Rate ATA: Advanced Technology Attachment

Page 5 © Copyright 2003 Storage Technology Corporation (StorageTek) Magnetic Tape › Technology follower - areal density trend lags disk – Increased defect tolerance – Uses higher media surface area to compete – Volumetric density the tape metric › Continues to leverage magnetic disk technologies as appropriate › Opportunity for more aggressive operating points › Media improvements are key to advancement › 1TB cartridge capacity product roadmaps target 2005-2007 – Multi-TB’s planned › Holding on to cost advantage over other storage subsystems types -- low end under pressure from alternatives. M. Leonhardt 4-9-02

Page 6 © Copyright 2003 Storage Technology Corporation (StorageTek) › 10 year outlook has tape maintaining its competitive position with disk (within a narrowed market) – Present capacity, data rate ratios can be maintained – Slow down in magnetic disk density advances factored in -- 60% CAGR – Continuing disk innovation assumed -- gets tougher 5-10 years out Tape vs. Disk -- “Is tape dead?” -- NO!

Page 21 © Copyright 2003 Storage Technology Corporation (StorageTek) Areal Density Limit Calculation for MP Tape Particle Density, p (cm -3 ) 8000tpi Units: Gb/in 2 Note: This is for conventional MP particles. Spherical particles (e.g. Maxell Nanocap first announced at the INSIC tape meeting at StorageTek Sept 2003) and thin film disk like media extend beyond this.

Page 24 © Copyright 2003 Storage Technology Corporation (StorageTek) Summary › Tape continues to lead on volumetric efficiency and $/GByte › Medium has primary impact on the density growth – Magnetic and physical standpoint › Head technology in good shape! › Limit for MP tape ~10Gb/in 2 (Careful!! Disk prediction in 1997 36Gb/in 2 ) › Tape not near any fundamental limits at this time
