    The IBM 1301 Disk Storage Unit, [11] announced in 1961, introduced the usage of heads having self-acting air bearings (self-flying heads) with one head per each surface of the disks. It was followed in 1963 by the IBM 1302, with 4 times the capacity. Also in 1961, Bryant Computer Products introduced its 4000 series disk drives.
