I am surprised to not see someone pick up on this yet, but here goes:

At the CES last week, Atari unveiled a new disk drive for the 8-bit line of
computers.  Dubbed the XF551, this 5.25" drive is double sided, double
density (total of 360K storage), runs 3 times faster than the Atari 1050
drive, and will sell for about the same price when the new drive becomes
available later this year.

Along with the XF551 drive comes ADOS, written by OSS, which supports a
tree-structured file system.

The XF551 with ADOS is compatible with other double-density third-party
drives as well as the original 1050 drive.
