• Magnetic storage devices can be either internal

or external • Internal magnetic hard disks are fixed inside the

system unit

• External magnetic hard disks are portable

3/15/2014 5 SimNet Concepts Support CD: “Removable Disks”

• Internal hard disk is a magnetic storage device with • One or more thin platters that store information

sealed inside the disk drive.

• Read/write heads access the information on surface

• Heads read information while copying it from disk to RAM

• Heads write information when copying it from RAM to disk

3/15/2014 6

• External hard disks are magnetic

storage media which are portable

storage units that you can connect

to your computer as necessary

• Great for backup storage devices

• Ability to transport your hard disk from one

computer to another

• Port used is USB and eSATA

3/15/2014 7

• Long term storage system and

application software

• Operating system and application

software are copied from the hard

disk to memory

• Capacity measured in gigabytes

and terabytes (160GB, 250GB,

500GB, 1TB, 2TB, 3TB)

• Use Integrated Drive Electronic (IDE)

and Serial Advanced Technology

Attachment (SATA) port.

• HDD speeds: 5400, 7200, 10000,

12000, 15000 (rpm)

• Like IDE, an I/O bus standard.

• 7 types of cables:

• DB-25 (SCSI-1)

• 50-pin internal ribbon (SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3)

• 50-pin Alternative 2 Centronics (SCSI-1)

• 50-pin Alternative 1 high density (SCSI-2)

• 68-pin B-cable high density (SCSI-2)

• 68-pin Alternative 3 (SCSI-3)

• 80-pin Alternative 4 (SCSI-2, SCSI-3)

• A set of disk stations treated as one logical station

• Data are distributed over the stations

• Redundant capacity is used for parity allowing for

data repair

• RAID 0 (disk stripping)

• A stripped set of equal space from at least two drives creates a larger volume.

• RAID 1 (disk mirroring)

• Method of producing fault tolerance by writing all data simultaneously to two separate drives.

• RAID 3 (Bit-Interleaved Parity)

• Improves upon RAID 2

• Disk Controllers can detect whether a sector has been read correctly.

• RAID 4 (block-interleaved parity)

• Stripes data at a block level across several drives, with parity stored on one drive

• Allows recovery from the failure of any of the disks

• RAID 5

• combines benefit both RAID 0 and RAID 1

• A solid-state drive (SSD) is a data storage

device that uses solid-state memory to store

persistent data.

• No Moving Parts.

• Capacity: 32GB, 64GB, 128GB

240GB, 512GB

• Use SATA port.

• Removable magnetic storage media come in two basic types:

• Traditional floppy disks

• Zip disks

• These storage media are useful for:

• Storing files for backup or security purposes

• Transferring files from one computer to another

3/15/2014 16

• Floppy Mylar disk

• Housed inside a hard plastic casing

• Thin, flexible plastic disk

• 3.5 inch floppy disks

• also called floppies, diskettes, floppy

disks

• Holds about 1.44 megabytes of

information

• High-capacity disks

• Zip® disk

p. 5.144 Fig. 5.15

• High capacity plastic platter disk

• Called removable hard disks

• Provide a higher storage capacity than Mylar disks

• Example - Zip® disk with capacity of 100MB, 250MB, and 750MB

• A Blu-ray Disc (also

called BD) is a high-

density optical disc

format for the storage of

digital information,

including high-definition

video.

3/15/2014 24

Format Characteristic

DVD-ROM Purchased with data encoded; not able to change

DVD-R, DVD+R Purchased blank; able to be written to once and then

treated like a DVD-ROM

DVD-RW, DVD+RW Purchased blank; able to be written to and erased

multiple times

DVD-RAM Purchased blank; able to be written to and erased just

like a hard or floppy disk
