I used 'rotating storage' because Winchester is technically specific.

Quote:
Introduced in 1973 as the model 3340, the drive had one permanent and one removable spindle, each holding 30MB. The "30-30" storage capacities led to the Winchester nickname after the Winchester 30-30 rifle. The term later referred to all fixed hard disks because the heads and platters are always encased in the same, sealed unit

The Winchester Disk
IBM's Winchester disk was a removable cartridge, but the heads and platters were built in a sealed unit and were not separable.

The Heaters and Burners playlist tells how to make a rocket stove from empty tin cans.
