It's mostly been Dazz Dee for me;
however, occasionally I have heard or said Dee Ay Ess Dee
How about IBM's CKD - always "See Kay Dee"?
BTW, did anyone else use CKD (other than PCMs), perhaps RCA (who arguably
was a PCM+)?
And was the 3390-3 the last CKD DASD?

IBM had DASD
(anyone pronouce it?); CDC had RMS. Crossing between
the two cultures could be very confusing.
I say "dazzdee". I've never heard anyone say "Dee Ay Ess
Dee".

Most people I've heard say "see kay dee", but some people have said
"sicd" as in "he sicd the dog on me".

Once, exactly once, I've heard "sicked" and "fibba" for CKD and
FBA.
I spell out the letters.

I've never heard of it outside of IBM; it was pretty specific to their
implementation as far as I know.

Hmm, good question! I don't have a ready reference to DASD model
numbers and specs.
