Disks: summary / overview / abstract
• The following gives an introduction to external memory for computers, focusing mainly on disks.
• This presentation is preceded by a more general introduction to computer technology.
• A separate but related presentation discusses optical disks like CD’s and DVD.
• After an introduction, we focus on
»Disk access time and data transfer rate
»The capacity of various information carriers
»Disk backup technologies

Disk access time:definition
• Access time
»= the time to locate a particular piece of information on a disk
»= seek time + settling time + rotational delay

15
Disk access time:various causes
Seek time =
the time required to position the head assembly at the desired radius
Settling time =
the time required for the head to settle into position at the desired radius
Rotational delay =
the time the disk must rotate to get the desired sector under the read head

Disks: data transfer rate
Transfer rate
Hard disk
3 000 up to 30 000 kB/s
CD-ROM
150 (digital audio, 1x)up to 8 000 kB/s (40x)
Transfer rate = the speed at which the computer reads data from a disk once the data is found (kB/s)
Floppy disk
about 30 kB/s

Evolution of disk capacities:advantages and disadvantages
• Floppy disks + Hard disks
Fast evolution: increasing capacity
Incompatibilities between floppy disk and disk hardware
• Compact disc
Stable from 1985: no increase of capacity
High compatibility with CD and DVD drives
