Understanding Storage
• A storage device is any type of equipment used for storing information.
• The earliest form of storage is paints and brushes.
• Any equipment that has I/O and reads and writes from a storage medium could be considered a storage equipment.
![Page 3: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Early History of Storage Devices
• One of the earliest devices used to store data for machine programming purposes are punch cards and punch tape used mainly in the 1940’s and for several decades after.

Selectron Tubes
• 1946 – RCA started the development of Selectron tubes which measured 10 inches and could store 4096 bits.
• These were very expensive to make so they were short-lived on the market.

UNIVAC 1 and Magnetic Tape• 1951 – IBM began using reels of magnetic tape
similar to audio cassettes. These reels of tape generally consisted of a magnetically sensitive substance coated in a thin plastic coating that computers wrote to and read by means of electronic heads.
• The UNIVAC 1 was the first computer to use magnetic tape for storage.
• Since one roll of magnetic tape could store as much data as 10,000 punch cards, it became an instant success.

IBM 650 – The Magnetic Drum
• 1953 – The IBM 650 (“magnetic drum calculator”) used a spinning magnetic drum to store data.
• The drum is 16 inches long and spun 12,500 RPM. It gave the IBM 650 about 10,000 characters of main memory.
![Page 8: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
World’s First Hard Drive
• 1956 – IBM unveils the 305 RAMAC (random access method of accounting and control). This computer was the first commercial hard disk drive on the market.
• It could store up to 4.4 MB of data (5 million characters).
• The data was stored on 50 – 24 inch magnetic disks.

IBM 1311• 1963 – IBM introduces the first hard drive with
removable disks.• Each disk pack was comprised of 6 – 14 inch
diameter disks and each disk could store up to 2 MB of data.
![Page 11: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Floppy Diskette
• IBM introduced the first commercial floppy drive in 1971. It was a plastic sheath that contained an 8-inch flexible disc with magnetic material.
• These were much faster to load and easier to store data so they became popular very quickly. Capable of holding 256 kB of data plus they are re-writable.
• 5 years later the co-inventor of the first floppy made a smaller 5.25 inch floppy disc for personal computing.
![Page 12: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Floppy Diskette
• The 5.25 inch floppy remained an industry standard for several years until Sony’s 3.5 inch floppy achieved market dominance in the later 1980’s.
![Page 13: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ROM Cartridge
• 1976 - A ROM cartridge is a circuit board containing a read-only memory (ROM) chip and a connector encased in a rigid shell.
• This format was mainly used for games or programs like the Atari 800 or TI-99/4.
• They were fast and easy to use but relatively expensive.
![Page 14: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Compact Disc
• 1979 – Developed in a co-operation between Sony and Phillips. Reached the market in 1982.
• The format stores digital data in the form of pits molded into the top of a plastic disc that has a reflective backing. A laser reads the pits. Because CDs are digital, they are perfect for storing computer data, and it wasn't long before Sony/Philips adapted the format to create computer CD-ROMs, producing the first commercial CD-ROM drive in 1985.

Why Use Removable Storage?
There are several reasons why removable storage is useful: • Commercial software • Making back-up copies of important information • Transporting data between two computers • Storing software and information that you don't need to
access constantly • Copying information to give to someone else • Securing information that you don't want anyone else to
access
![Page 17: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

HDD
• HDD is Hard Disk Drive.• Secondary Storage • Introduced in 1956 for an IBM accounting
computer• Called a hard disk so not to be confused with a
floppy disk.• Originally used for general purpose computer,
now it has moved into camcorders, cellphones, digital audio players, etc.
![Page 31: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Platter
• Magnetic recording material is layered onto aluminum or glass disk called the hard disk platter.
• Information is read and read from both sides of a platter.
• Laptops: 4200, 5400, 7200 revolutions per minute, 30-50 MB/s
• Desktops: 7200, 10000 rpm 90 MB/s• Servers: 10000, 15000 rpm

Read/Write
• Read or writing utilizes a mechanical arm that moves back and forth between the center. – Known as seeking– The speed is known as the seek time
• Sectors>address(track number + sector number. Organization.
• Uses longitudinal recording – past 50 years, aligns data bits horizontally to the spinning platter.
• Latency(Lag) or rotational delay.
![Page 34: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Read/Write
• Data is written in a series of bits, either 1 or 0.• Data is not just slapped on to the hard drive, it is first
processed by using a complex mathematical formula and then the drive’s firmware adds extra bits to the chunk of data.
• Data isn't just shoveled onto a hard drive raw, it's processed first, using a complex mathematical formula. The drive's firmware adds extra bits to the data that allow the drive to detect and correct random errors.

DRAM based SSD
• Dynamic Random Access Memory• Based on volatile memory• Faster than flash SSD and traditional HDD. • Has some sort of battery back up.• Used on servers/regular PCs.• Used on computers that have already maxed out RAM– i.e. x86-32 architecture can extend pass ~4GB limit.
• Puts paging file or swap file on SSD. • Swap file – space used on hdd as virtual memory.
![Page 44: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
RAIDs
• Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks– Redundant Array of Independent Disks– Concept was first defined in 1987 at University of
California Berkeley– Basically combines two or more physical hdd into
one logical unit.
![Page 45: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
RAID
• RAID0– Size = 2*min(120,100) = 200 GB– Makes one big hdd– If sectors are spread through hard drives then
seek time is halved. – Speed will only be limited by RAID controller.– Probability of failure is 9.75%
![Page 46: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
RAID
• RAID1– Mirrors 1:1 copies from HDD 1 to HDD 2– Failure rate within 3 years is 0.25%
• RAID2– Synchronized by the controller to spin in perfect tandem.– Only level of original raid not being used.
• RAID 3– Rarely used.– 3 and 4 replaced by RAID5– Byte level striping with a dedicated parity disk
![Page 47: Understanding Storage Devices](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168c6550346895ddfb757/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
RAID
• RAID4 – block level striping with parity disk.• RAID5 – block level striping with parity data
sent across all disk.– Low cost– 1 in 1015 fail
• RAID6 – uses 4+ disk to prevent data loss on any two disk

Fun Facts
• In the year 2007 516.2 million hard disks were sold .• NSA– Rumored that by 2012 Utah data center will have
“yottabytes of surveillance data.”– 1,000 gigabytes = 1 terabyte, 1,000 TB = 1 petabyte,
1,000 PB = 1 exabyte, 1,000 EB = 1 zettabyte, and a 1,000 ZB = 1 yottabyte. In other words, a yottabyte is 1,000,000,000,000,000GB.
• Freeze HDD• Originally called a “fixed disk” and “Winchesters”
