Hard Disk Drive

 

 

 

HARD DRIVE: 135$ to 1099$

 

billions of hard drives do one thing well, they store changing digital information in a permanent form. They give computers the ability to save things when the power goes out.Every time you save a document on your computer, the data is temporarily stored in your hard drive the aria its in is called the Chache. In 1961 IBM had invented the first disk drive and in 1963 they introduced the removable disk pack drive.

 

a hard drive or Hard Disk Drive is a computer storage device, which spins, reads and writes one or more fixed disk platters. the capacity doubles easily every two years and sometimes every year. The first Hard drives took up hole closetes. In 1956 IBM Invented the first computer disk storage system or CDSS, the 305 RAMAC (Random Acess Methed of Acounting and Control). This system could store five Meggabytes. It had fifty, 24-inch diameter disks. Now a 5GB drive can fit in a phone.

 

The new LG 42LC2RR is called the Time Machine because it comes with an 80GB hard drive built into the TV, which allows you to record TV shows and play them back when you want.The 80 GB hard drive allows you to record about 33 hours of normal quality video or 20 hours of high quality video, both of which are good enough to record your favorite shows everyday so you can watch them at night.

 

the first computer with a hard drive The IBM System 305 was made in 1956.The Hard Drive is the primary communication device to the rest of the computer and as so if the hard drive is malfunctoning the hole computer is.The hard disk drive hs short and fascinaeting history. In 24 years it evoilved from a beast with fifty two-foot diameter disks holding five megabytes (5,000,000 bytes) of data to todays drives measuring 3/12 inches wide and an inch high holding 400 gigabytes or 400,000,000,000 bytes/characters.

 

The hard drive(hard disk drive) is th mechonism that stores most of a computer's information including the operating system and all of your programs. In addition The hard drive stores all the data on your computer. If something was to go wrong with your hard drive, it is possible that all your information would be lost forever. hard drives are one of the components most likely to fail in your computer because they are one of the only components with moving parts.

 

The hard drive has round discs that store information as 1 and 0 densely packed around the disc. hard drives were originally developed for use with computers, But In the 21st century applications for Hard Drives have expanded beyond computers into video cameras,video game consoles,digital cameras, personal digital assistants, and digital audio devices. Like this Xbox 360 Elite with a 120 mb hard drive.

 

In 1980, Seagate Technology introduced the first hard disk drive for microcomputers, the ST506. It was a full height (twice as high as most current 5 1/4" drives) 5 1/4" drive, with a stepper motor, and held 5 Mbytes. A good hard disk drive built in the 80's was an ST506.I dont know exactly how much it cost, it was however over a thousend .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 2005 the first mobile phones to include HDDs were introduced by Samsung and Nokia. A hard drive stores information on one or more rigid, flat, disks. The need for largescale, reliable storage, independent of a device, led to the introduction of configurations such as RAID arrays, network attached storage (NAS) systems and storage area network systems that provide efficient and reliable access to large volumes of data.

 

Hard drives are sealed to prevent dust and other sources of contamination from interfearing with the operation of the hard drives. The hard drives are not air tight, but use an extreamley fine air filter.

 

The difference between The SATA and other products is for SATA The main benefits are thinner cables that let air cooling work better, faster transfers, ability to remove devices while operating, and more realiable operation with better data checks. For other products like the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a set of staindards for phisically connecting and transfering data between computers and other devices. A new technology was recently put out by samsung called spinpoint F1, there are many hard drives with Spinpoint F1 now, heres a link to the products
