[comp.sys.mac.hardware] References needed regarding disk drives

Netland,

I am interested in understanding some of the fundamentals about disk drives.
Mostly I am trying to find information regarding the way information is
physically stored on the disks.  To a lesser extent controller operation theory
is needed.  Since I need a fairly in-depth discussion about drives I feel that
the most efficient method to answer my questions is to be pointed towards
some technical references.  If any of you know of books spanning the range
from intro to advanced on disk drives, I would appreciate your forwarding
their titles to me.  Email is preferred.
