Thanks for looking. The references point to Seagate's later Hawk drives.
The drive I am talking about is a tad bigger! An internal fixed disk, and
a top loading pack on the same spindle. The disk packs are of a similar
size to RK05 packs, albeit top loading rather the front.
I have a vague idea they were also used on early Diablo machines.

I have a drive and I believe it is an SMD

AFAIK the format of SMD drives differs from controller type to
controller type. That means you have to read the data from the drive
with the same controller / machine it was written.
The drive also seems to be known as a DD1600.
Does anyone have any details on this drive?
Google?
