Essential steps for longevity The typical life of an optical disk is said to be 30 years, but in reality that may be anywhere from one year to a cen- tury or more. In a recent US government survey of 4 483 users, a majority consid- ered archival longevity of more than 40 years to be important 2). While the industry can supply discs of high enough quality to survive for 40 years, disc drives gen- erally cannot meet that standard. For this reason, users should change drives peri- odically as technology advances. “ Together, these two standards provide a reliable system for DVD archiving applications.” For archival optical disc applica- tions, it is essential not only to select a quality disc, but also to migrate data on the disc periodically. In 2008, a non-profit organization, Archive Disc Test Center 3), was established in Japan to estimate the useful life of optical discs. ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 23 will continue its discussion of the necessity of standard media and standard drives to further promote archival optical disc applications. 2) Optics & Photonics News, May 2007. 3) www.n-adtc.org.

  • Hard Disk Drives
    37 Hard Disk Drives The last chapter introduced the general concept of an I/O device and showed you how the OS might interact with such a beast. In this chapter, we dive into more detail about one device in particular: the hard disk drive. These drives have been the main form of persistent data storage in computer systems for decades and much of the development of file sys- tem technology (coming soon) is predicated on their behavior. Thus, it is worth understanding the details of a disk’s operation before building the file system software that manages it. Many of these details are avail- able in excellent papers by Ruemmler and Wilkes [RW92] and Anderson, Dykes, and Riedel [ADR03]. CRUX: HOW TO STORE AND ACCESS DATA ON DISK How do modern hard-disk drives store data? What is the interface? How is the data actually laid out and accessed? How does disk schedul- ing improve performance? 37.1 The Interface Let’s start by understanding the interface to a modern disk drive. The basic interface for all modern drives is straightforward. The drive consists of a large number of sectors (512-byte blocks), each of which can be read or written. The sectors are numbered from 0 to n − 1 on a disk with n sectors. Thus, we can view the disk as an array of sectors; 0 to n − 1 is thus the address space of the drive. Multi-sector operations are possible; indeed, many file systems will read or write 4KB at a time (or more). However, when updating the disk, the only guarantee drive manufacturers make is that a single 512-byte write is atomic (i.e., it will either complete in its entirety or it won’t com- plete at all); thus, if an untimely power loss occurs, only a portion of a larger write may complete (sometimes called a torn write).

  • Use External Storage Devices Like Pen Drives, Cds, and Dvds
    External Intel® Learn Easy Steps Activity Card Storage Devices Using external storage devices like Pen Drives, CDs, and DVDs loading Videos Since the advent of computers, there has been a need to transfer data between devices and/or store them permanently. You may want to look at a file that you have created or an image that you have taken today one year later. For this it has to be stored somewhere securely. Similarly, you may want to give a document you have created or a digital picture you have taken to someone you know. There are many ways of doing this – online and offline. While online data transfer or storage requires the use of Internet, offline storage can be managed with minimum resources. The only requirement in this case would be a storage device. Earlier data storage devices used to mainly be Floppy drives which had a small storage space. However, with the development of computer technology, we today have pen drives, CD/DVD devices and other removable media to store and transfer data. With these, you store/save/copy files and folders containing data, pictures, videos, audio, etc. from your computer and even transfer them to another computer. They are called secondary storage devices. To access the data stored in these devices, you have to attach them to a computer and access the stored data. Some of the examples of external storage devices are- Pen drives, CDs, and DVDs. Introduction to Pen Drive/CD/DVD A pen drive is a small self-powered drive that connects to a computer directly through a USB port.

  • Data Output Interface for Holographic Memory
    Invited Paper DataOutput Interface for Holographic Memory Gan Zhou, Olga Ivanova, Allen Pu, Demetri Psaltis, and Fai Mok Holoplex inc. 600 S. Lake Ave., Ste. 102, Pasadena, CA 91106 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The issue of interfacing holographic memory with an electronic processor is discussed. The high speed and parallel access of two dimensional, page formatted optical data from holographic memory can be utilized to reconfigure an electronic processor at a rate much faster than traditionally available. This new technique could be the stepping stone to a new class of high performance device for a variety of image/signal processing tasks. We will first give a review of the holographic memory activity at Holoplex, in particular, our research on holographic optical disk as a read-only memory device. We will then discuss the optical architecture for interfacing an optical RUM with a programmable gate array processor. Keywords: optical memory, holographic ROM, parallel access, reconfigurable computing. 1. HOLOGRAPHIC ROM (HROM) We have implemented a holographic optical disk for high-capacity, digital data storage application. The holographic disk utilizes the Bragg-selectivity of the volume hologram to achieve a storage density much higher than conventional means. Figure 1 illustrates the holographic disc system where the holograms are arranged on concentric tracks. Each spot contains a number of multiplexed holograms that can be read out in separate steps by steering the reference beam to different angles Figure 1.Conceptual Diagram oft/ic Holographic Optical i)isk Theimaging optics and the performance of the imaging system are shown in figures 2 and 3.

  • Computer Files & Data Storage
    STORAGE & FILE CONCEPTS, UTILITIES (Pages 6, 150-158 - Discovering Computers & Microsoft Office 2010) I. Computer files – data, information or instructions residing on secondary storage are stored in the form of a file. A. Software files are also called program files. Program files (instructions) are created by a computer programmer and generally cannot be modified by a user. It’s important that we not move or delete program files because your computer requires them to perform operations. Program files are also referred to as “executables”. 1. You can identify a program file by its extension:“.EXE”, “.COM”, “.BAT”, “.DLL”, “.SYS”, or “.INI” (there are others) or a distinct program icon. B. Data files - when you select a “save” option while using an application program, you are in essence creating a data file. Users create data files. 1. File naming conventions refer to the guidelines followed while assigning file names and will vary with the operating system and application in use (see figure 4-1). File names in Windows 7 may be up to 255 characters, you're not allowed to use reserved characters or certain reserved words. File extensions are used to identify the application that was used to create the file and format data in a manner recognized by the source application used to create it. FALL 2012 1 II. Selecting secondary storage media A. There are three type of technologies for storage devices: magnetic, optical, & solid state, there are advantages & disadvantages between them. When selecting a secondary storage device, certain factors should be considered: 1. Capacity - the capacity of computer storage is expressed in bytes.
