Well, back in the day there was a man called Dick Pick. The US Goverment had the
same request. They wanted a database incorporated into a hard disk drive, and
that's what they got. An operating system and database in one, on the hard
drive. Damn good database, still in use all over the world. IBM even distributes
2 versions today.

I don't think that's what our good friends at Western Digital are asking about.
I'm guessing that you are looking for some sort of database that you can embed
in the drive controller logic, and would postgreSQL work in that environment?

Is that the question?
