Removable Storage Disk RTP Company End-Use Case Study Improved Nanotube Technology Used In New Computer Product Breakthrough nanotube technology evolved during development of a breakthrough computer product. Iomega has changed the rules of data backup with its REVTM drive and removable REVTM disk that can store 35 gigabytes (GB) of native data and up to 90 GB of compressed data on a single disk. The REVTM disks used with the drive require a rugged material to provide a housing for the motor and media and to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). After testing several materials that gave inconsistent results, Iomega turned to RTP Company to develop a nanotube compound. From the beginning of the development phase, Iomega determined that a nanotube-filled material would meet its strict REVTM
