The Hewlett-Packard HP3013/3014, nicknamed Kittyhawk, was a hard disk drive introduced by Hewlett-Packard on June 9, 1992. Developed with assistance from AT&T and manufactured by Citizen Watch, it was the smallest hard disk drive in the world at the time of its launch. Despite its innovative design, the Kittyhawk was ultimately a commercial failure due to its high cost.
