From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:



  Winchester n. Informal generic term for sealed-enclosure magnetic-disk
     drives in which the read-write head planes over the disk surface on an
     air cushion. There is a legend that the name arose because the original
     1973 engineering prototype for what later became the IBM 3340 featured
     two 30-megabyte volumes; 30-30 became `Winchester' when somebody noticed
     the similarity to the common term for a famous Winchester rifle (in the
     latter, the first 30 referred to caliber and the second to the grain
     weight of the charge). (It is sometimes incorrectly claimed that
     Winchester was the laboratory in which the technology was developed.)
