[5] The AT160F was one of the largest HDD subsystems available for the IBM PC at the time, allowing these computers to install graphics-heavy applications such as CAD/CAM and illustration software packages which were previously the domain of expensive minicomputers and Unix workstations.

[1] Maxtor folded U.S. Design Corporation, a company they had acquired earlier in the year, into Storage Dimensions while retaining the latter name for this division.

[4] In the summer of 1988, they introduced the SpeedStor AT650E, which was the highest-capacity 5.25-inch disk drive for the IBM PC up to that point in time, with a storage capacity of 651 MB.

The company simultaneously released the LANStor LAN650E, a version of the SpeedStor AT650E optimized for file servers running Novell's NetWare network operating system.

[1][8] In April 1998, Storage Dimensions merged with Artecon, Inc., a Unix systems integrator founded in 1984 and based in San Diego, adopting the name of the latter company.
