TARG
Target : SCSI term that describes any device that performs I/O initiated by an initiator (INIT).

Thin Film Head
Thin film heads are created using vacuum deposition, photolithographic and other similar techniques used in semiconductor wafer processing, to achieve highly controllable dimensions and characteristics. Through this process, the coil winding is deposited on a ceramic base, creating extremely small heads with equally small and precise gaps between the pole pieces of the magnetic recording material. Thin film heads perform best at lower flying heights, achieving higher areal densities and faster data transfer rates.

TPI
Tracks Per Inch.

Track
1. (ISO) The path, or one of the sets of paths, on a data medium associated with a single reading or writing component as the data medium moves past the component.
2. For an optical disk, a 360 degree segment of the path which is to be followed by the read beam during reading or the write beam during writing.
