NEW TRENDS
PROS AND CONS
Device(space) used to store something !


Device use to store information in magnetic
or digital form in temporary or permanently
and reproduced whenever required.
MAGENETIC STORAGE

 TAPE DRIVE
 FLOPPY DISK
 HARD DISK

OPTICAL STORAGE

 CD ROM
 DVD ROM

FLASH STORAGE

 FLASH DRIVES (PEN DRIVE)
 SOLID STATE DEVICE(drive)

HYBRID DISK DRIVE
CLOUD STORAGE
•

.Disk

spins 120 times per second (7200
RPM/60)

•

Each spin transfers a track of 80 KB (160
sectors x0.5K)

•

Sustained average transfer rate is 120x80 =
9.6MB/s.





NOR based flash
Allow Random Access
High cost and less durable
Direct code execution
NAND based flash
No random-access external address bus
Mass storage
miniSD, microSD  64MB to 64GB


Storage device that uses flash technology but
comes in the form factor of a conventional
hard drive.


Wear levelling
◦ Counting writes & dynamically remapping blocks



Bad block management
◦ Write verification and remapping bad sectors



Multi-Level Cell technology
◦ Memory cells store more than one bit
PARELLEL ATA

16 bit parallel data bus

40 pin cable

Signal crosstalk
 SERIAL ATA

7 pin cable

25% of space by PATA


•

RAID 0 – High-Performance applications where
data loss is not critical

•

RAID 1 – High Reliability with fast recovery

•

RAID 5 – Preferred for storing large volumes of
data

•

RAID 10-High fault tolerant & Expensive
