I remember them well. I was answering Steve's two implied questions. 2321 was certainly characterized as DASD. It was indeed a direct access storage device. Not a disk, but DASD nonetheless. Certainly not magnetic tape (though it had a family resemblance!) and certainly not unit record.
I don't think anyone recalls a 3314. I think the OP said it was a typo, 2314 mis-remembered as 3000-series DASD.
