What is the Objective of storage media
manufacture?Imagine that your computer without memory..!
You can create a complete library containing all the books it contains the largest library in theworld and carryin your handanywhere.
Benefits ofSecondary Storage
• Space• Reliability• Convenience• Economy
• You can store files and photos fill the large room in one storage.
• In the floppy disk save the equivalent of 500 pages printed.
• In the optical disc can save the equivalent of 500 books
Space
Can you imagine how many books you
can save on your hard drive?
Reliability
• Data in secondary storage is relatively safe.
• Secondary storage is highly reliable• More difficult for untrained people
to tamper with data stored on disk
Convenience
• Authorized users can easily and quickly locate data stored on the computer
Economy• Several factors create significant savings
in storage costs Less cost to store data on disks Reliable
and safe. Less time, Greater speed and
convenience in filing and retrieving data
(save time & money)
Magnetic Disk StorageData represented as magnetized spots on surface of spinning disk• Spots on disk converted to electrical
impulsesPrimary types• Diskette• Hard Disk
Diskettes• Made of flexible Mylar and coated with iron oxide.• Has protection of rigid plastic jacket.• 3 ½” diskette.• Holds 1.44 MB of data.
MylarIn general used to refer to polyester film or plastic sheet.
Hard Disks• It contain rigid platters
coated with magnetic oxide• Several platters can be
combined into a disk pack• Disk drive responsible for
reading or writing data from and to the disk
The arm Responsible to move a reading & writing head to desired locationIf the head is touch a platter, it will destroyed the data.
Reading/Writing Data
Every disk contain platters, arms and reading/writing heads
Disk Packs
How Data Is Organized
• Track• Sector• Cluster• Cylinder
Track• The circular portion of the disk surface that passes under the reading/writing head.• The floppy diskette has 80 tracks on each surface.• Hard disk has 1,000 or more tracks on each surface of each platter.
SectorEach track is divided into sectors that hold a fixed number of bytes• Typically 512
bytes per sector
ClusterEvery cluster is contain of two to eight adjacent sectors, depending on the operating system
CylinderThe track on each surface that is beneath the read/write head at a given position of the read/write heads
When file is larger than thecapacity of a single track,operating system will storeit in tracks within the samecylinder
Disk Access Speed• Access time - the time needed to access
data on disk• Three factors• Seek time• Head switching• Rotational delay
• Once data found, next step is data transfer
Seek Time
Time to search the data position on platter
Head switching
The physical head need to reach position on platter.
Rotational DelayDepends on rounds per minute of your Hard Desk Drive ( H.D.D. )• 7200 r/m• 5400 r/m• 1500 r/m
Optical Disk Storage
Compact Disks (CD)• CD-R & CD-RWDigital Versatile Disk (DVD)• DVD-R & DVD-RW & DVD+R &
DVD+RW & DVD+R Dual LayerBlue Ray Disc• BD-R & BD-RE
Magnetic Tape Storage
• Tape similar to tape used in music cassettes
• Used primarily for backup of data stored on disk systems
Organizing and Accessing Stored Data
• Character• Field• Record• File• Database
