I guess creating a table for tubing diamaters that
work with common
pinch roller types would be a good thing. There are some rollers that
may be difficult to do.
That would be a fantastic resource. However, as you mentioned there are many
models out there specially in the consumer space (e.g. all the Taravan
drives) and it may be very hard to accomplish.
I am just shooting the breeze but many drives are just rebadges of other
drives (e.g. Connor T-stor/Seagate T-stor or IBM 6157/Cipher 540s) I wonder
how much sharing is there in the transport space? i.e. If different
models/brand used the same transport mechanism and same "off the shelf"
parts to save costs... That may reduce the chart size significantly.
