❸What are various Manufacturers working on.

❹Scientific Innovation.
Ist HARD DISK_

□ RAMAC ,the opener of HardDisk was the invention of

a project led by Rey Johnson.

□ The Drive has a storing capacity of 5MB @ $10000 per

megabyte.

□ RAMAC uses 50 24-inch platters that spun at 1200

revolutions per minute.

□ RAMAC 305 system was about two refrigerators in width

and quite as tall, and it weighed almost a ton.
 PLATTERS_

□The platters are round magnetic

plate revolving inside the
HardDisk.

□ HardDisks contain an array of

platters.

□ Platters are typically made using

an aluminium or glass and ceramic.

□ The platter rotates at the speed

of 1000 RPM.This rate varies
depending upon the model of hard
drive.
Moving forward in Date Line_

□IBM announces the 3340,the first modern

Winchester hard drive, which has a sealed assembly,
lubricated spindles, and low-mass heads.

□ Although modern disk drives are faster and hold

more data, the basic technology is the same.

□ Some years later, RAID (Redundant Arrays of

Independent Disks) technology came to existence.
RAID_
□RAID is a technology that provides
increased storage functions and reliability
through redundancy. This is achieved by
combining multiple disk drive components
into a logical unit, where data is
distributed across the drives in one of
several ways called "RAID levels".

□ RAID 0 delivers faster performance by

splitting data across multiple drives. Its
drawback is that if one drive fails, the
data on all drives is lost.

□ RAID 1(minimization of downtime) here

data is mirrored across multiple
drives. It is a popular alternative, if a drive
goes bad.
HOLOGRAPHIC MEMORY_

□This uses interference of light in light-sensitive crystals to

store data.

□ The digital information is stored within the entire volume of

the storage device, not just on the exposed surface.

□ Holographic data storage is three dimensional, instead of two

dimensional.

□ It can store as much as one terabyte of data in a device just

about half the size of your thumb.

□ Holographic technology reads and writes a million bits of data

in parallel, instead of the traditional 1 bit at a time.
HOLOGRAPHIC MEMORY_ □Holographic storage devices use a
AT WORK laser beam to store data.

□ This uses interference of light in

light-sensitive crystals to store data.

□ The beam is split into two by a beam

splitter.

□ The beams pass through a

semi-transparent crystal which acts
like a filter to turn light into readable
bits of data.

□ After the laser's original beam is

split, one part is deflected toward the
film plate and the other is bounced
off the object. When the beams
reconverge, they form a light
interference pattern that is recorded.
HOLOGRAPHIC MEMORY(continued)_

□Capacity of a Holographic Disk is estimated to be 27

times more of DVD.

□ And data transfer rate of 25 times faster, then

traditional.

□ The Research on Holographic Memory is nothing new,

it has been going on since 1960’s. With the initiation
done by Pieter Heerden.

□ Holographic storage devices couldn't come into the

market because the technology is quite expensive and
couldn't compete with magnetic and optical storage
Molecular Memory_

□ In this, individual molecules and nano-wires are used

to create large arrays of memory bits.

□ Each molecule acts like a switch that can be either in

the off or on state, thus representing digital data.

□ With this technology, up to 50 times more data can

be crammed into the same storage space as today's
magnetic storage devices such as hard disks.

□ Using lasers and the BACTERIORHODOPSIN protein

molecule, the W. M. Keck Center for Molecular
Electronics has built a molecular memory device holding
several hundred megabytes.
Moving forward in Date Line_

□Toshiba launches MK2001MTN, the first 0.85-inch

Hard Drive.
It stores 2GB of Data on a single platter, and uses

Serial ATA interface.

□Some years later came the MK4007 GAL.

It stores 40GB of data on a 1.8 inch of platter, it

also became the first hard drive using
Perpendicular Magnetic Recording.
Serial ATA(Advanced Technology Attachment)_

□Is a interface for connecting host bus

adapters to mass storage devices.

□ Provide point to point channel communication

between mother board or the main board and
the drive.

□ SATA also has a far lower power requirement

of just 250 mV compared to PATA's 5-volt
requirement.

□ Provides data-tranfer-rate of upto

600Mb/sec.

□ Cables are very thin with small 7-pin

connectors.
Perpendicular Recording_

□ Perpendicular recording can

deliver more than three
times the storage density of
traditional longitudinal
recording.

□ Perpendicular recording is
predicted to allow information
densities of up to around 1
Tbit/sq. inch as compared to
the traditional longitudnal disk
which has a recording density
of 100 to 200 Gb/sq.inch.
