You should maintain pointers to the index page, rather than the individual nodes, since the contents of those may change over time.
Information on disk, tape, MO, RAID and SSD can be found in part 1 of the FAQ. Part 2 covers file systems, hierarchical storage management, backup software, robotics, benchmarking, MTBF and miscellaneous topics.
