The drive holds 5MB of data at $10,000 a megabyte. The system is as big as two refrigerators and uses 50 24-inch platters CSC 409 Spring 2011 Team: Competitive Advantage Page 27 History • 1963:IBM comes up with the first removable hard drive, the 1311, which has six 14-inch platters and holds 2.6MB. • 1978: First RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks) technology patent is filed. • 1980: IBM introduces the first gigabyte hard drive. It is the size of a refrigerator, weighs about 550 pounds, and costs $40,000. CSC 409 Spring 2011 Team: Competitive Advantage Page 28 History cont. • 1992: Seagate is first to market with a 7200revolutions-per-minute hard drive, the 2.1GB Barracuda • 2006: Seagate releases the Barracuda 7200.10, at 750GB the largest hard drive to date. CSC 409 Spring 2011 Team: Competitive Advantage Page 29 Modern Drives • The first PC hard disks had a capacity of 10 megabytes and a cost of over $100 per MB. • Modern hard disks have capacities of 100 gigabytes and a cost of less than 1 cent per MB! • Improvement of 1,000,000% in just under 20 years! CSC 409 Spring 2011 Team: Competitive Advantage Page 30 Areas of Improvement • Performance – Speed (Read, write, interface (IDE,PATA,SATA)) • Storage Capacity – 5MB to now Few TB’s • Reliability – Much more reliable and longer lasting – (Maybe most important piece of hardware because of the need to access the data on it.) • Cost – From many thousands of dollars to hundreds and cheaper. • Size – From “refrigerators” to less than an inch CSC 409 Spring 2011 Team: Competitive Advantage Page 31 Drive of the Future • Solid State Drive (SSD) • Pros – The potential data speed of reading and writing to the solid drive is due to the fact the data is “flashed” and not depending on a read and write head. – They do not have moving parts and do not suffer from potential break downs. – Lack of heat output from these devices. – With a solid state drive running as a primary storage unit, the noise factor drops considerably due to the lack of moving parts. CSC 409 Spring 2011 Team: Competitive Advantage Page 32 SSD cont. • Cons – Each memory ‘cell’ in an SSD can only be written to a limited number of times. – Fragments occur on the memory chips and a disk defragmenter cannot be used on them at this time. • Taking the Good with the Bad CSC 409 Spring 2011 Team: Competitive Advantage Page 33 Keep an open mind. • Look forward to more storage, in smaller packages at faster speeds to come! • Remember that since the 50’s, drive technology has grown at more than 67% per year!
