I give a paragraph below:
''The glass platters are more rigid and as such can be less than half as thick as the aluminium disks. A glass disk does not expand or contract with changes in temperatur, wich result in a more stable hard disk drive. Most of the top hard disk manufactures use glass composite materials in their disk drives, including Segate, Toshba, and Maxtor. As the disk drives continue to get smaller, storing more data, and operating at higher speed.''
Here in the paragraph above, I do not comprehend the meaning of the sentence '' As the disk drives continue to get smaller, storing more data, and operating at higher speed.'' Esespecially, The the ing-form storing more data and '' operating at higher speed.''
Could you simplify the meaning of the sentence for me, please?
As written, this is not a complete English sentence. Here is a minor rewrite that I believe will clarify the meaning: As the disk drives continue to get smaller, they [the disk drives] store more data and operate at higher speeds.

It is not a complete sentence. The end of it has been lost. The full sentence is:
As the disk drives continue to get smaller, storing more data, and operating at higher speeds, glass materials are likely to be used in all disk drives.
Do you understand it OK now?
