The storage (Hard Disk Drive) it very complicated thing I hope I make It easier

1. Storage

2. What is storage?
• Storage holds data, instructions, and information for future use.
• Storage medium is physical material used for storage.

3. Storage Media Types
• Hard Disk.
• Floppy Disk.
• Zip Disk.
• CD/DVD.
• SD Card
• Flash Memory.
• Solid State Drive

4. Storage Medium Capacity
• Number of bytes a storage medium can hold
• Nybble or Nyble 4 Bits

6. Drive Types
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Solid State Drive (SSD)

7. What is a Hard Disk Drive ?
• It was invented in 1954 by IBM.
• High capacity storage.
• Consists of several inflexible,
circular platters that store items
electronically.
• Components enclosed in airtight,
sealed case for protection.
• The operating system, software
and most other files are stored in
the HDD.

8. Hard Disk Drive Interfaces
• Parallel Advance Technology Attachment (PATA).
• Small Computer System Interface (SCSI).
• Serial AT Attachment (SATA).
• Serial Attached SCSI (SAS).

9. Parallel Advance Technology
Attachment (PATA)
• It has a 40 Pins Data Connector.
• It has 4 Pins Power connector.
• Data transfer rate is 133.3 MB/S.
• If you have two devices connected to one IDE
controller, one must be set master and the other must
be set to slave using jumpers and IDE cable.
• Max of two drives per controller.
• Developed by Western Digital under the name
Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE).

10. Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
• SCSI are high performance storage drives.
• SCSI drives are commonly found in servers were
real time performance or 24/7 operation is
required.
• It has 40 Pins Data Connector and 4 Pins Power
connector.
• Data transfer rate is 320 MB/S for SCSI-3 Wide
Ultra3.
• Max of 15/16 drives per controller.

11. SATA Drive Interface
• It is the latest high speed type of hard
drive connectors.
• It has a 7 pin Data connector.
• It has 15 pin Power connector.
• Data transfer rate is 22.5 GB/S for
SATA V4 at 2017
• Max of 15 with a port multiplier.

12. The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
• It has a 7 pin Data connector.
• It has 15 pin Power connector.
• Data transfer rate is 6 GB/S
• Max of 8 drives per controller.

13. Basic components of a hard drive
• Disk platters.
• Read/write heads.
• Spindle motor.
• Stepper motor.
• Logic board.
• Cables & connectors.
• Configuration items (such as jumpers &switches).

14. 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.
• Traditionally made from a magnetic material, in the flat
disk part of the drive.
• The data stored in the platter.
• Desire for higher density has led to the use of platters
made of glass (glass ceramic composite).
Glass platters offer greater rigidity & mores table
thermally.

15. 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.
• 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.

18. Spindle motor
• Motor that spins the platters.
• Connected directly to the drive.
• This motor rotates at a speed of 3600 to
15,000 RPM.
• All the platter moves in the same
direction.

19. Stepper motor
• Use stepper motors for
controlling read/write head
position.
• Stepper motors usually use
+12V power, but some new
low-power drives use +5V
power source.

20. Logic Boards
• Mounted on the hard drive.
• Contain electronics that
control the drive’s spindle,
head actuator systems, and
present the data to the
controller.

21. Cables & Connectors
• Connectors for interfacing to the computer,
receiving power.
• Data cables:
SATA cable.
SCSI cable.
IDE cable.
SAS cable.

22. Disk structures
A:Track
B:Geometrical sector
C:Track sector
D:Cluster

23. • Track : The HDD is divided into number of concentric circulars called
tracks.
• Sector: Data storage area in one track multiple divided into the
multiple block. Each sector can have 512 bytes of the data.
• Cylinder: A set corresponding tracks in all sides of a hard disk.
• Storage capacity: its having a formula show below:
Storage capacity= number of cylinder's * tracks per cylinder *sector per tracks * bytes per sector.
Disk structures

24. HDD Problems
• No operating system.
• Disk boot Failure
(cable problem) OR (HDD Not Detect).

25. Solid State Drive
• It was invented in 1995 by M-systems.
• It’s a data storage device that uses solid state
memory to store persistent data.
• SSDs use NAND based flash memory or
DRAM to store data.
• The SSD need external power supply or battery
pack.

26. Advantages Disadvantages
High performance They are more expensive than
traditional hard drive
Faster than a standard HDD They currently offer less storage
space than traditional hard drive
Faster seek time upto 60* faster
than HDD
Lower power
Silent operation
Lighter weight
Wider operating temp 0c- 70c

28. RAID 0
• Minimum 2 disks.
• Excellent performance (as blocks are
striped).
• No redundancy (no mirror, no parity).
• Don’t use this for any critical system.

29. RAID 1
• Minimum 2 disks.
• Good performance (no striping. no parity).
• Excellent redundancy (as blocks are mirrored).

30. RAID 5
• Minimum 3 disks.
• Good performance (as blocks are
striped).
• Good redundancy (distributed parity).
• Best cost effective option providing both
performance and redundancy. Use this
for DB that is heavily read oriented.
Write operations will be slow.

31. RAID 1+0
• Minimum 4 disks.
• This is also called as “stripe of mirrors”.
• Excellent redundancy (as blocks are
mirrored).
• Excellent performance (as blocks are
striped).
• If you can afford the dollar, this is the
BEST option for any mission critical.
