Yes, you are right.
Thank you
but, can I still say that crashed platter that I have came from a RAMAC
350?
Google AI (Gemini) has occasionally "thought" that Ramac was the name of
the company.

RAMAC refers to a complete computer system that implements the "Random
Access Method of Accounting and Control", such as the IBM 305 RAMAC of
which the IBM 350 disk storage unit is a *component*.
So the name you're looking for is "IBM 350" which was the name of the first
disk drive.
