Storage Basics
• Storage Medium contains data
• A storage device records data and retrieves data on a storage medium– Data copied from storage device into RAM,
where it waits to be processed– Processed data is held temporarily in RAM
before copied to storage medium

Hard Disk Drives: Long-Term Storage The hard disk permanently stores all your important data. Some hard disks can store more than 100 gigabytes of data.
RPM – Determines how fast your Hard Drive will access data. Revolutions Per Minute.
Typical RPM Values:
Desktop Machine – 7,200 RPMLaptop Machines – 5,000 RPMServer Machines – 10,000 RPM
![Page 14: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Basic components of a hard drive
• Disk platters• Read/write heads• Head actuator• Spindle motor• Logic board• Cables & connectors• Configuration items (such as jumpers &
switches)
![Page 15: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Spindle motor
• Motor that spins the platters
• Connected directly to the drive
![Page 16: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Logic Boards
• Mounted on the hard drive
• Contain electronics that control the drive’s spindle & head actuator systems & present the data to the controller
![Page 17: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cables & Connectors
• Connectors for interfacing to the computer, receiving poweretc
![Page 18: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Head disk Assembly
• Platters, spindle motor, heads, & head actuator mechanisms usually contained in this sealed chamber
![Page 19: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hard Disk Platters
• 3 1/2 inch drives are the most popular for desktop & some portables
• Max number of platters in a 3 1/2 inch drive is 11
![Page 20: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hard Disk Platters
• Traditionally made from aluminum alloy
• Desire for higher density has led to the use of platters made of glass (glass ceramic composite)– Glass platters offer greater rigidity & more
stable thermally
![Page 21: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Hard Disk Platters
• No matter what type of platter is used, the platters are covered with a thin layer of magnetically retentive substance (called the medium) on which magnetic information is stored.– Oxide media– Thin-film media
![Page 22: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Oxide media
• Made of various compounds, oxide being the primary active ingredient
• Put on the disk like syrup, coating the entire disk
• Coating is approx 30 millionths of an inch and is made smooth
• Platters appear to look brownish or amber
![Page 23: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Oxide media
• Very sensitive to head-crash during movement of operation
• Very few drives use this technology anymore
![Page 24: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Thin-film media
• Thinner, harder & more perfectly formed than oxide media
• Looks silver like the surface of a mirror .
![Page 25: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Magnetic Disk
• Magnetic storage stores data by magnetizing microscopic particles on the disk or tape surface
Durability?

Read/Write Heads
• A hard disk has one read/write head for each side of the platter
• The heads are connected on a single movement mechanism
• They move in same manner and direction.
![Page 27: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Read/Write Heads
• Each head is on an actuator arm that is spring-loaded to force the head into contact with a platter– The heads float only a very slight distance
above the platter
• When the drive is at rest, the heads are forced into direct contact with the platters by spring tension
![Page 28: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Read/Write Heads
• Four types of read/write head designs:– Ferrite– Metal-In-Cap– Thin-film– Magneto-resistive
![Page 29: Presentation on Hard Disk](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012315/5468dc3db4af9fde078b4899/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How a Hard Disk Works• Composed of several coated
platters stacked on a spindle
• Data saved to the disk: pattern of magnetized spots– Spots = 1– Spaces = 0
• Between platters are read/write heads that read and write magnetized data
• Spots are translated into data
Platters Read/write head
Access arms

The Hard DriveElectronic board
• Opening a hard disk ruins it.
• The electronics Integrated circuit controls the read and write mechanism and the motor that spins the platters.
• Turns bytes into magnetic domains and binary information accordingly
• May detach from the rest of the drive

The Hard Disk Drive
• Storage capacity up to 500 GB and more.
• Access time is measured in milliseconds
• Data transfer rate is measured in megabits or megabytes per second
• Spindle speed is measured in revolutions per minute (rpm)
