JTS Corporation was a maker of inexpensive IDE hard drives for personal computers based in San Jose, California. It was founded in 1994 by "Jugi" Tandon—the inventor of the double-sided floppy disk drive and founder of Tandon Corporation—and David B. Pearce, of former bankrupt disk manufacturer Kalok.[1] Its name is derived from its co-founder, standing for Jugi Tandon Storage.

The company later reverse-merged with Jack Tramiel's Atari Corporation in 1996,[2] sold all Atari assets to Hasbro Interactive in 1998[3] and was finally declared bankrupt in 1999.
