At the start of 2005, InPhase investigated development of a rack mounted reader/writer; the CEO, Nelson Diaz, overruled this approach by partnering with StorageTek, a local established storage vendor, to put the InPhase reader/writer into a 5¼-inch form factor, while the storage media could be stored as 5¼-inch disks; this decision led to significant technical risk for development of a highly reliable robust reader/writer in this form factor that would have been significantly ameliorated by a rack mounted drive.
