PART 1
CD-ROM
www.themegallery.com
History
• Compact Disc - Digital Audio (CD-DA), the original CD
  specification developed by Philips and Sony in 1980
• Specifications were published in Red Book, continued to be
  updated (lastest version in 1999)
• In 1985 a standard for the storage of computer data by Sony
  and Philips, CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory)
• Developments in the technology have been ongoing and
  rapid
   –   Compact disc Interactive (CD-I)
   –   Compact Disc Television (CD-TV)
   –   Compact Disc Recording (CD-R)
   –   Digital Video Disc (DVD)
Structure
• The thickness of a CD can vary between 1.1 and 1.5mm
• CDROM can store 720 MB of data.
• A CD consists of four layers
   • The biggest part is clear
     polycarbonate (nominally
     1.2mm)
   • There is a very thin layer of
     reflective metal (usually
     aluminum) on top of the
     polycarbonate
   • Then a thin layer of some
     protective material covering the
     reflective metal
   • A label or some screened
     lettering on top of protective
     material
CD Layers (cont’d)
Structure

• A CDROM Drive uses a
  small plastic-encapsulated
  disk that can store data
• This information is retrieved
  using a Laser Beam
• A CD can store vast amounts
  of information because it uses
  light to record data in a
  tightly packed form
Structure (cont’d)
• On surface of CDROM,
  laser beam to use to was be
  "punched" to according the
  spiral called the pits. These
  positions do not have
  "punch" as land.
   – The 0.12 micron deep pit,
     approximately 0.6 microns
     wide.
   – The pit and land length from
     0.9 to 3.3 microns.
   – The distance between the
     spiral is 1.6 micron.
   – Track density on a CDROM is
     about 16,000 tracks per inch.

CD Safety
• The label side of a CD is the
  most vulnerable part of the disk
• The other side is protected by
  the thick (1.2mm) and hard
  polycarbonate
• It is possible to carefully clean
  and even to polish this surface
  to remove fingerprints and
  even scratches
• Many flaws on the
  polycarbonate surface will
  simply go unread.
CD vs. Magnetic Media
• In Magnetic Media (like floppy/hard
  disk) the surface is arranged into
  concentric circles called “tracks”
• Number of sectors per track is
  constant for all tracks
• The CD has one single track, starts at
  the center of the disk and spirals out
  to the circumference of the disk
• This track is divided into sectors of
  equal size
CD Data Recording
• Information is
  recorded on a CD
  using a series of
  bumps


• In the recording, Lazer
  gun was used to write data
  to disk
   – Signal corresponding to 0
     => laser off.                                Laser
   – Signal corresponding to 1                     gun
     => laser on => burned disk
                                     Controller
     surface into a point of          curcuit
     losing the ability to reflect
Data Recording (cont’d)
• The unmarked areas between pits are called "lands”
• Lands are flat surface areas
• The information is
  stored permanently
  as pits and lands on
  the CD-ROM. It
  cannot be changed
  once the CD-ROM is
  mastered, this is why
  its called CD-ROM
Data Reading
                           • Laser reflection on
                             rotating disk
                             surface, the pit
                             will be lost
                    Lens     reflected rays =>
                             that is “0” signal,
                             the land they
Laser           Prism        received reflected
 gun
                             rays => that is “1”
                             signal

        Sensitive
         diode
How The CD Drive Works
• A motor rotates the CD
• The rotational speed varies so
  as to maintain a constant
  linear velocity (the disk is
  rotated faster when its inner
  "SPIRALS" are being read)
How The CD Drive Works (cont’d)
• A laser beam is shone onto the surface of the disk
• The light is scattered by the pits and reflected by the lands,
  these two variations encode the binary 0's and 1's
• A light sensitive diode picks up the reflected laser light and
  converts the light to digital data
How The CD Drive Works (cont’d)
CD-ROM Drive Speed
• The CD-ROM drives are classified by their rotational speed
• Based on the original speed of a CD-Audio (e.g. A "2X"
  CD-ROM drive will run at twice the speed of a CD- Audio)


            Speed              Information transfer rate
              1X                     150 Kbytes/s
              2X                     300 Kbytes/s
              …                           …

CD File Systems
1.    ISO-9660
      The base standard defines three levels of compliance
     – Level 1 limits file names to 8+3 format. Many special
        characters (space, hyphen, equals, and plus) are
        forbidden
     – Level 2 and 3 allow longer filenames (up to 31) and
        deeper directory structures (32 levels instead of 8)
     – Level 2 and 3 are not usable on some systems, special
        MS-DOS
CD File Systems (cont’d)
2.   Rock Ridge
•    Extensions to ISO-9660 file system
•    Favored in the Unix world
•    Lifts file name restrictions, but also allows Unix-style
     permissions and special files to be stored on the CD
•    Machines that don't support Rock Ridge can still read
     the files because it's still an ISO-9660 file system (they
     won't see the long forms of the names)
•    UNIX systems and the Mac support Rock Ridge
•    DOS and Windows currently don't support it
CD File Systems (cont’d)
3.   Joliet
•    Favored in the MS Windows world
•    Allows Unicode characters to be used for all text fields
     (including file names and the volume name)
•    Disk is readable as ISO-9660, but shows the long
     filenames under MS Windows
4.   HFS (Hierarchical File System)
     Used by the Macintosh in place of the ISO-9660,
     making the disk unusable on systems that don't support
     HFS
Multiple Sessions
• Allows CDs to be written more than once (not re-written)
• Some CD writers support this feature
• About 640MB of data can be written to the CD, as some
  space is reserved for timing and other information
• Each session written has an overhead of approximately
  20MB per session
CD-ReWritable (CD-RW)
• It is essentially CD-R
• Allows discs to be written and
  re-written up to 1000 times
• The storage capacity is the
  same as that for CD-R
• Based on phase-change
  technology.
• The recording layer is a
  mixture of silver, indium,
  antimony and tellurium
CD-RW Recording Process
• The recording layer is polycrystalline
• The laser heats selected areas of the recording track to the
  recording layer's melting point of 500 to 700 degrees Celsius
CD-RW Recording (cont’d)
• The laser beam melts the crystals and makes them non-
  crystalline (amorphous phase)
• The medium quickly cools, locking in the properties of the
  heated areas
• The amorphous areas have a lower reflectivity than the
  crystalline areas
• This creates a pattern which can be read as pits and lands
  of the traditional CD
• To erase a CD-RW disc, the recording laser turns the
  amorphous areas back into crystalline areas
DVD
• Digital Versatile Disk (Formerly Digital Video Disk)
• Same size (120mm) and
  thickness (1.2mm) as CD
• Improvements in the
  logarithms used for error
  correction
• Much greater data accuracy
  using smaller Error
  Correction Codes (ECC)
• More effective use of the
  track space
DVD vs. CD
• DVD uses a tighter spiral (track or helix) with only 0.74
  microns between the tracks (1.6 microns on CDs)
• DVD recorders use a laser with a smaller wavelength, 635nm
  or 650 nm (visible red light) vs. 780nm (infrared) for CDs
• DVD has smaller "burns" (pits) in the translucent dye layer
  (0.4 microns minimum vs. 0.83 microns minimum on CDs)




• These technologies allow DVDs to store large amounts of data
DVD (cont’d)
• Standard single-sided DVDs store up to 4.7GB of data
• Dual-sided discs hold about 8.5GB of data (9.4GB for
  back-to-back layers dual-sided discs)
• In back-to-back layers discs, it must be turned over to
  access the data on the reverse side
• DVD uses MPEG2 compression for high quality pictures
• DVD drives have a much faster transfer rate than CD drives
• DVD-ROM drives will read and play existing CD-ROM
  and CD-A disks

PART 2
Blu-ray VS HD-DVD
Blu-ray disc
• Blu-ray Disc (official
  abbreviation BD) is an optical
  disc storage medium designed
  to replace the DVD format.
• The standard physical medium
  is a 12 cm plastic optical disc,
  the same size as DVDs and
  CDs.
• Blu-Ray Discs contain 25 GB
  per layer, with dual layer discs
  (50 GB) the norm for feature-
  length video discs and
  additional layers possible later.
HD - DVD
• HD DVD-ROM, HD DVD-R and
  HD DVD-RW have a single-layer
  capacity of 15 GB, and a dual-
  layer capacity of 30 GB.
• HD DVD-RAM has a single-
  layer capacity of 20 GB. Like the
  original DVD format, the data
  layer of an HD DVD is 0.6 mm
  below the surface to physically
  protect the data layer from
  damage.
• All HD DVD players are
  backward compatible with DVD
  and CD.
USB Flash
          drive
• A USB flash drive consists of
  a flash memory data storage
  device integrated with a USB
  (Universal Serial Bus)
  interface.
• USB flash drives are typically
  removable and rewritable, and
  physically much smaller than a
  floppy disk.
• Most weigh less than 30 gram.
  Storage capacities in 2010 can
  be as large as 256 GB with
  steady improvements in size
  and price per capacity
  expected.
USB speed
•   USB 1.0 – speed 1.5 Mb/s
•   USB 1.1 – speed 12 Mb/s
•   USB 2.0 – speed 480 Mb/s
•   USB 3.0 – speed 5 Gb/s
Hard disk drive
• Disk platter
• Read/Write
  head
• Head arm/Head
  slider
• Head actuator
  mechanism
• Spindle motor
• Logic board
• Air filter
• Cables &
  Connectors
Hard Disk
• Fixed and
  removable
• Fast (disk
  rotates at 60
  to 200 times
  per second)


• Currently 20 – 2 TB (may be limited by the version of the
  operating system)
• Like floppies, uses the magnetic properties of the coating
  material, but the technology is different
Boot Sector (Boot Record)
• A vital sector, disk will be unusable if this sector damages
• MBR at CHS 0, 0, 1 in hard disks, contains Partition Table
• Each partition has its own boot sector too
• Each operating system has its own boot sector format
• For Booting, Bootstrap Loader loads Boot Sector data it in a
  particular address of memory (0000:7C00h) and sets the PC
• In hard disks, the small program in MBR attempts to locate
  an active (bootable) partition in partition table
• If found, the boot record of that partition is read into memory
  (location 0000:7C00) and runs
DOS/Win Formatted Disk
• A DOS/Win formatted floppy/hard disk’s Boot Sector contains
   – A jump and a NOP (No Operation Performed) op-code
     (operation code)
   – BPB (BIOS Parameter Block)
      -   Sectors per cluster
      -   Number of Root directory entries
      -   Sectors per FAT
      -   Volume Label
      -   …
   – A program, to load OS if bootable/show error msg if not in
     floppies, to locate the active partition in hard disks
   – Error messages
Cluster
• Data units of disk must be addressed, which units belong
  to which file / are free / are damaged (bad sectors) / …
• On disks having large capacity, purposing one sector as a
  unit makes addressing table so large  Cluster is defined
• Represents the smallest amount of disk space that OS can
  be allocated
• The smaller the cluster size, the more efficiently disk
  space usage, the more number of bits to address one unit
• The number of sectors per cluster is stored in the
  Boot Record
FAT
• FAT-12/FAT-16/FAT-32 are Microsoft favorite File
  Allocation Tables (before NTFS)
• FAT-12 uses 12 bits for addressing, a max. of 4096 units,
  considering one sector as a cluster, 2MB can be addressed
• FAT-16 with max.(128) sectors/cluster (64KB cluster size
   wasting large amount of disk space) up to 4GB, this is
  why Win95 cannot support more than 4GB partiotions
• FAT-32, the same system,
  32 bit fields for addressing
NTFS
•   NT File System
•   Better performance
•   Less wasted space
•   More security
•   Supports all sizes of
    clusters (512b - 64 KB)
• The 4 KB cluster is somehow standard
• Practically no partition size limitation
• Very flexible, all the system files can be relocated, except
  the first 16 MFT (Master File Table) elements
NTFS (cont’d)
• NTFS disk is symbolically divided into two parts
• The first 12% is assigned to MFT area
• The rest 88% represents usual space for files storage
• MFT area can simply reduce if needed, clearing the space for
  recording files
• At clearing the usual area, MFT can be extended again
Hard Drive Interfaces
• ATA interfaces dominate today’s market
  – Many changes throughout years
  – Parallel ATA (PATA) historically prominent
  – Serial ATA (SATA) since 2003


• Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
  – Pronounced “Scuzzy”
  – Used in many high-end systems

      popularity

• Introduced Serial ATA (SATA)
   – Increased throughput to 150 MBps to
      300 MBps
Serial ATA
• Serial ATA (SATA) creates a point-to-point
  connection between the device and the controller
   – Hot-swappable

   – Can have as many as eight SATA
     devices

   – Thinner cables resulting in better
     airflow and cable control in the PC

   – Maximum cable length of
     39.4 inches compared to
     18 inches for PATA cables
Serial ATA
• More on SATA
  – PATA device my be connected to SATA
    using a SATA bridge

  – Can have as many as eight SATA devices
     • Add more SATA functionality via a PCI card


• eSATA                         eSATA Port

  – External SATA

  – Extends SATA bus to external devices
SCSI
Small Computer System
       Interface
SCSI
• Pronounced “Scuzzy”

• Been around since ’70s

• Devices can be internal or external

• Historically the choice for RAID
   – Faster than PATA
   – Could have more than four drives

• SATA replacing SCSI in many applications
SCSI Chains
• A SCSI chain is a series of SCSI devices working
  together through a host adapter

• The host adapter is a device that attaches the SCSI
  chain to the PC

• All SCSI devices are divided into internal and
  external groups

• The maximum number of devices, including the
  host adapter, is 16
Internal Devices
• Internal SCSI devices are installed inside
  the PC and connect to the host adapter
  through the internal connector

• Internal devices use a 68-pin ribbon cable




• Cables can be connected to multiple devices
External Devices
• External SCSI devices are connected to host adapter
  to external connection of host adapter

• External devices have two connections in the back, to
  allow for daisy-chaining

• A standard SCSI chain can connect 15 devices,
  including the host adapter
SCSI IDs
• Each SCSI device
  must have a unique
  SCSI ID

• The values of ID
  numbers range from
  0 to 15

• No two devices connected to a single host adapter can
  share the same ID number

• No order for the use of SCSI IDs, and any SCSI device
  can have any SCSI ID
SCSI IDs
• The SCSI ID for a particular device can be
  set by configuring jumpers, switches, or
  even dials

• Use your hexadecimal knowledge to set the
  device ID
  – Device 1 = 0 0 0 1           Off, Off, Off,
    On
  – Device 7 = 0 1 1 1           Off, On, On,
    On
  – Device 15 = 1 1 1 1          On, On, On,
    On
Termination
• Terminators are used to prevent a signal reflection that can corrupt the
  signal

• Pull-down resistors are usually used as terminators

• Only the ends of the
  SCSI chains need to be
  terminated

• Most manufacturers
  build SCSI devices
  that self-terminate
Protecting Data
  with RAID
Protecting Data
• The most important part of a PC is the data
  it holds
  – Companies have gone out of business because
    of losing data on hard drives

• Hard drives will eventually develop faults

• Fault tolerance allows systems to operate
  even when a component fails
  – Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID)
    is one such technology
RAID Level 0
• Disk striping
    – Writes data across multiple drives at once
    – Requires at least two hard drives
    – Provides increased read and writes


• Not fault tolerant
    – If any drive fails,
      the data is lost
RAID Level 1
• Disk mirroring/duplexing is the process of writing the same data to
  two drives at the
  same time
    –   Requires two drives
    –   Produces an exact mirror of the primary drive
    –   Mirroring uses the same controller
    –   Duplexing uses separate controllers
RAID Levels 2 to 4
• RAID 2
  – Disk striping with multiple parity drives
  – Not used


• RAID 3 and 4
  – Disk striping with dedicated parity
  – Dedicated data drives and dedicated parity
    drives
  – Quickly replaced by RAID 5
RAID Level 5
• Disk striping with distributed parity
  – Distributes data and parity evenly across the
    drives
  – Requires at least three drives
  – Most common RAID implementation




                                            Software-

RAID Level 6
• Super disk striping with distributed parity

  – RAID 5 with asynchronous and cached data
    capability
Implementing RAID
• SCSI has been the primary choice in the
  past
  – Faster than PATA
  – PATA allowed only four drives


• SATA today viewed as comparable choice
  – Speeds comparable to SCSI
  – Dedicated SATA controllers can support up to
    15 drives
Hardware vs. Software
• Hardware RAID
  – Dedicated controller
  – Operating system views
    it as single volume

• Software RAID
  – Operating system
    recognizes all individual
    disks
  – Combines them together
    as single volume
Personal RAID
• ATA RAID controller chips have gone
  down in price

• Some motherboards are now shipping with
  RAID built-in

• The future is RAID
  – RAID has been around for 20 years but is now
    less expensive and moving into desktop
    systems

  • 1. CDROM, Floppy and Hard Disk Structure Plus some basic concepts
  • 2. Table of Contents  CD  Floppy Disk • History • History • Structure • Structure • Data Recording • Data Recording/Retrieval • How The CD Drive Works • Formatting • CD File Systems • 3½ Inch (2HD) Disks • Multiple Sessions • Hard Disk • CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) • Some Basic Concepts • DVD • Boot Sector • Cluster • FAT • NTFS
  • 5. History • Compact Disc - Digital Audio (CD-DA), the original CD specification developed by Philips and Sony in 1980 • Specifications were published in Red Book, continued to be updated (lastest version in 1999) • In 1985 a standard for the storage of computer data by Sony and Philips, CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory) • Developments in the technology have been ongoing and rapid – Compact disc Interactive (CD-I) – Compact Disc Television (CD-TV) – Compact Disc Recording (CD-R) – Digital Video Disc (DVD)
  • 6. Structure • The thickness of a CD can vary between 1.1 and 1.5mm • CDROM can store 720 MB of data. • A CD consists of four layers • The biggest part is clear polycarbonate (nominally 1.2mm) • There is a very thin layer of reflective metal (usually aluminum) on top of the polycarbonate • Then a thin layer of some protective material covering the reflective metal • A label or some screened lettering on top of protective material
  • 8. Structure • A CDROM Drive uses a small plastic-encapsulated disk that can store data • This information is retrieved using a Laser Beam • A CD can store vast amounts of information because it uses light to record data in a tightly packed form
  • 9. Structure (cont’d) • On surface of CDROM, laser beam to use to was be "punched" to according the spiral called the pits. These positions do not have "punch" as land. – The 0.12 micron deep pit, approximately 0.6 microns wide. – The pit and land length from 0.9 to 3.3 microns. – The distance between the spiral is 1.6 micron. – Track density on a CDROM is about 16,000 tracks per inch.
  • 11. CD Safety • The label side of a CD is the most vulnerable part of the disk • The other side is protected by the thick (1.2mm) and hard polycarbonate • It is possible to carefully clean and even to polish this surface to remove fingerprints and even scratches • Many flaws on the polycarbonate surface will simply go unread.
  • 12. CD vs. Magnetic Media • In Magnetic Media (like floppy/hard disk) the surface is arranged into concentric circles called “tracks” • Number of sectors per track is constant for all tracks • The CD has one single track, starts at the center of the disk and spirals out to the circumference of the disk • This track is divided into sectors of equal size
  • 13. CD Data Recording • Information is recorded on a CD using a series of bumps • In the recording, Lazer gun was used to write data to disk – Signal corresponding to 0 => laser off. Laser – Signal corresponding to 1 gun => laser on => burned disk Controller surface into a point of curcuit losing the ability to reflect
  • 14. Data Recording (cont’d) • The unmarked areas between pits are called "lands” • Lands are flat surface areas • The information is stored permanently as pits and lands on the CD-ROM. It cannot be changed once the CD-ROM is mastered, this is why its called CD-ROM
  • 15. Data Reading • Laser reflection on rotating disk surface, the pit will be lost Lens reflected rays => that is “0” signal, the land they Laser Prism received reflected gun rays => that is “1” signal Sensitive diode
  • 16. How The CD Drive Works • A motor rotates the CD • The rotational speed varies so as to maintain a constant linear velocity (the disk is rotated faster when its inner "SPIRALS" are being read)
  • 17. How The CD Drive Works (cont’d) • A laser beam is shone onto the surface of the disk • The light is scattered by the pits and reflected by the lands, these two variations encode the binary 0's and 1's • A light sensitive diode picks up the reflected laser light and converts the light to digital data
  • 18. How The CD Drive Works (cont’d)
  • 19. CD-ROM Drive Speed • The CD-ROM drives are classified by their rotational speed • Based on the original speed of a CD-Audio (e.g. A "2X" CD-ROM drive will run at twice the speed of a CD- Audio) Speed Information transfer rate 1X 150 Kbytes/s 2X 300 Kbytes/s … …
  • 20. CD Physical Specifications Diameter 120mm ±0.3mm Transparent Layer Thickness 1.2mm ±0.1mm Total Thickness 1.1mm - 1.5mm Transparent Layer Index of 1.55 ±0.10 Refraction Reflectance of Metal Layer 70% minimum through Transparent Layer Laser Wavelength 780nm ±10nm Track Pitch 1.6 micron ±0.1 micron Scanning Linear Velocity 1.20m/s - 1.40m/s (±0.01m/s)
  • 21. CD File Systems 1. ISO-9660 The base standard defines three levels of compliance – Level 1 limits file names to 8+3 format. Many special characters (space, hyphen, equals, and plus) are forbidden – Level 2 and 3 allow longer filenames (up to 31) and deeper directory structures (32 levels instead of 8) – Level 2 and 3 are not usable on some systems, special MS-DOS
  • 22. CD File Systems (cont’d) 2. Rock Ridge • Extensions to ISO-9660 file system • Favored in the Unix world • Lifts file name restrictions, but also allows Unix-style permissions and special files to be stored on the CD • Machines that don't support Rock Ridge can still read the files because it's still an ISO-9660 file system (they won't see the long forms of the names) • UNIX systems and the Mac support Rock Ridge • DOS and Windows currently don't support it
  • 23. CD File Systems (cont’d) 3. Joliet • Favored in the MS Windows world • Allows Unicode characters to be used for all text fields (including file names and the volume name) • Disk is readable as ISO-9660, but shows the long filenames under MS Windows 4. HFS (Hierarchical File System) Used by the Macintosh in place of the ISO-9660, making the disk unusable on systems that don't support HFS
  • 24. Multiple Sessions • Allows CDs to be written more than once (not re-written) • Some CD writers support this feature • About 640MB of data can be written to the CD, as some space is reserved for timing and other information • Each session written has an overhead of approximately 20MB per session
  • 25. CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) • It is essentially CD-R • Allows discs to be written and re-written up to 1000 times • The storage capacity is the same as that for CD-R • Based on phase-change technology. • The recording layer is a mixture of silver, indium, antimony and tellurium
  • 26. CD-RW Recording Process • The recording layer is polycrystalline • The laser heats selected areas of the recording track to the recording layer's melting point of 500 to 700 degrees Celsius
  • 27. CD-RW Recording (cont’d) • The laser beam melts the crystals and makes them non- crystalline (amorphous phase) • The medium quickly cools, locking in the properties of the heated areas • The amorphous areas have a lower reflectivity than the crystalline areas • This creates a pattern which can be read as pits and lands of the traditional CD • To erase a CD-RW disc, the recording laser turns the amorphous areas back into crystalline areas
  • 28. DVD • Digital Versatile Disk (Formerly Digital Video Disk) • Same size (120mm) and thickness (1.2mm) as CD • Improvements in the logarithms used for error correction • Much greater data accuracy using smaller Error Correction Codes (ECC) • More effective use of the track space
  • 29. DVD vs. CD • DVD uses a tighter spiral (track or helix) with only 0.74 microns between the tracks (1.6 microns on CDs) • DVD recorders use a laser with a smaller wavelength, 635nm or 650 nm (visible red light) vs. 780nm (infrared) for CDs • DVD has smaller "burns" (pits) in the translucent dye layer (0.4 microns minimum vs. 0.83 microns minimum on CDs) • These technologies allow DVDs to store large amounts of data
  • 30. DVD (cont’d) • Standard single-sided DVDs store up to 4.7GB of data • Dual-sided discs hold about 8.5GB of data (9.4GB for back-to-back layers dual-sided discs) • In back-to-back layers discs, it must be turned over to access the data on the reverse side • DVD uses MPEG2 compression for high quality pictures • DVD drives have a much faster transfer rate than CD drives • DVD-ROM drives will read and play existing CD-ROM and CD-A disks
  • 31. DVD (cont’d) Types Characteristics DVD-5 4.7GB Single-Side, Single-Layer capacity 4,7 GB. DVD-9 8.5GB Single-Side, Dual-Layer Capacity 8,5 GB. DVD-10 9.4GB Double-Side, Single-Layer Capacity 9,4 GB. DVD-18 17.1GB Double-Side, Dual-Layer Capacity 17,1 GB.
  • 34. Blu-ray disc • Blu-ray Disc (official abbreviation BD) is an optical disc storage medium designed to replace the DVD format. • The standard physical medium is a 12 cm plastic optical disc, the same size as DVDs and CDs. • Blu-Ray Discs contain 25 GB per layer, with dual layer discs (50 GB) the norm for feature- length video discs and additional layers possible later.
  • 35. HD - DVD • HD DVD-ROM, HD DVD-R and HD DVD-RW have a single-layer capacity of 15 GB, and a dual- layer capacity of 30 GB. • HD DVD-RAM has a single- layer capacity of 20 GB. Like the original DVD format, the data layer of an HD DVD is 0.6 mm below the surface to physically protect the data layer from damage. • All HD DVD players are backward compatible with DVD and CD.
  • 36. USB Flash drive • A USB flash drive consists of a flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. • USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, and physically much smaller than a floppy disk. • Most weigh less than 30 gram. Storage capacities in 2010 can be as large as 256 GB with steady improvements in size and price per capacity expected.
  • 37. USB speed • USB 1.0 – speed 1.5 Mb/s • USB 1.1 – speed 12 Mb/s • USB 2.0 – speed 480 Mb/s • USB 3.0 – speed 5 Gb/s
  • 38. Hard disk drive • Disk platter • Read/Write head • Head arm/Head slider • Head actuator mechanism • Spindle motor • Logic board • Air filter • Cables & Connectors
  • 39. Hard Disk • Fixed and removable • Fast (disk rotates at 60 to 200 times per second) • Currently 20 – 2 TB (may be limited by the version of the operating system) • Like floppies, uses the magnetic properties of the coating material, but the technology is different
  • 40. Boot Sector (Boot Record) • A vital sector, disk will be unusable if this sector damages • MBR at CHS 0, 0, 1 in hard disks, contains Partition Table • Each partition has its own boot sector too • Each operating system has its own boot sector format • For Booting, Bootstrap Loader loads Boot Sector data it in a particular address of memory (0000:7C00h) and sets the PC • In hard disks, the small program in MBR attempts to locate an active (bootable) partition in partition table • If found, the boot record of that partition is read into memory (location 0000:7C00) and runs
  • 41. DOS/Win Formatted Disk • A DOS/Win formatted floppy/hard disk’s Boot Sector contains – A jump and a NOP (No Operation Performed) op-code (operation code) – BPB (BIOS Parameter Block) - Sectors per cluster - Number of Root directory entries - Sectors per FAT - Volume Label - … – A program, to load OS if bootable/show error msg if not in floppies, to locate the active partition in hard disks – Error messages
  • 42. Cluster • Data units of disk must be addressed, which units belong to which file / are free / are damaged (bad sectors) / … • On disks having large capacity, purposing one sector as a unit makes addressing table so large  Cluster is defined • Represents the smallest amount of disk space that OS can be allocated • The smaller the cluster size, the more efficiently disk space usage, the more number of bits to address one unit • The number of sectors per cluster is stored in the Boot Record
  • 43. FAT • FAT-12/FAT-16/FAT-32 are Microsoft favorite File Allocation Tables (before NTFS) • FAT-12 uses 12 bits for addressing, a max. of 4096 units, considering one sector as a cluster, 2MB can be addressed • FAT-16 with max.(128) sectors/cluster (64KB cluster size  wasting large amount of disk space) up to 4GB, this is why Win95 cannot support more than 4GB partiotions • FAT-32, the same system, 32 bit fields for addressing
  • 44. NTFS • NT File System • Better performance • Less wasted space • More security • Supports all sizes of clusters (512b - 64 KB) • The 4 KB cluster is somehow standard • Practically no partition size limitation • Very flexible, all the system files can be relocated, except the first 16 MFT (Master File Table) elements
  • 45. NTFS (cont’d) • NTFS disk is symbolically divided into two parts • The first 12% is assigned to MFT area • The rest 88% represents usual space for files storage • MFT area can simply reduce if needed, clearing the space for recording files • At clearing the usual area, MFT can be extended again
  • 46. Hard Drive Interfaces • ATA interfaces dominate today’s market – Many changes throughout years – Parallel ATA (PATA) historically prominent – Serial ATA (SATA) since 2003 • Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) – Pronounced “Scuzzy” – Used in many high-end systems
  • 47. ATA Overview Cable Keywords Speed Max size ATA-1 40-pin PIO and DMA 3.3 MBps to 8.3 MBps 504 MB ATA-2 40-pin EIDE 11.1 MBps to 16.6 MBps 8.4 GB ATAPI ATA-3 40-pin SMART 11.1 MBps to 16.6 MBps 8.4 GB ATA-4 40-pin Ultra 16.7 MBps to 33.3 MBps 8.4 GB INT13 BIOS Upgrade 137 GB ATA-5 40-pin ATA/33 ATA/66 44.4 MBps to 6.6 MBps 137 GB 80-wires ATA-6 40-pin Big Drive 100 MBps 144 PB 80-wires ATA-7 40-pin ATA/133 133 MBps to 300 MBps 144 PB 80-wires 7-pin SATA IDE - International Development Enterprises
  • 48. ATA-1 • Programmable I/O (PIO)—traditional data transfer – 3.3 MBps to 8.3 MBps • DMA—direct memory access – 2.1 MBps to 8.3 MBps • Allowed two drives (one master, one slave)
  • 49. ATA-2 • Commonly called EIDE (though a misnomer) • Added second controller to allow for four drives instead of only two • Increased size to 8.2 GB • Added ATAPI – Could now use CD drives
  • 50. ATA-3 • Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology – S.M.A.R.T. • No real change in other stats
  • 51. ATA-4 • Introduced Ultra DMA Modes – Ultra DMA Mode 0: 16.7 MBps – Ultra DMA Mode 1: 25 MBps – Ultra DMA Mode 2: 33 MBps • Ultra DMA Mode 2 also called ATA/33
  • 52. INT13-Interrupt Extensions • ATA-1 standard actually written for hard drives up to 137 GB – BIOS limited it to 504 MB due to cylinder, head, and sector maximums – ATA-2 implemented LBA (Logical block addressing) to fool the BIOS, allowing drives to be as big as 8.4 GB • INT13 Extensions extended BIOS commands – Allowed drives as large as 137 GB
  • 53. ATA-5 • Introduced newer Ultra DMA Modes – Ultra DMA Mode 3: 44.4 MBps – Ultra DMA Mode 4: 66.6 MBps • Ultra DMA Mode 4 also called ATA/66 • Used 40-pin cable, but had 80 wires – Blue connector—to controller – Gray connector—slave drive – Black connector—master drive ATA/66 cable
  • 54. ATA-6 • “Big Drives” introduced • Replaced INT13 & 24-bit LBA to 48-bit LBA • Increased maximum size to 144 PB – 144,000,000 GB • Introduced Ultra DMA 5 – Ultra DMA Mode 5: 100 MBps ATA/100 – Used same 40-pin, 80-wire cables as ATA-5
  • 55. ATA-7 • Introduced Ultra DMA 6 – Ultra DMA Mode 6: 133 MBps ATA/133 – Used same 40-pin, 80-wire cables as ATA-5 – Didn’t really take off due to SATA’s popularity • Introduced Serial ATA (SATA) – Increased throughput to 150 MBps to 300 MBps
  • 56. Serial ATA • Serial ATA (SATA) creates a point-to-point connection between the device and the controller – Hot-swappable – Can have as many as eight SATA devices – Thinner cables resulting in better airflow and cable control in the PC – Maximum cable length of 39.4 inches compared to 18 inches for PATA cables
  • 57. Serial ATA • More on SATA – PATA device my be connected to SATA using a SATA bridge – Can have as many as eight SATA devices • Add more SATA functionality via a PCI card • eSATA eSATA Port – External SATA – Extends SATA bus to external devices
  • 59. SCSI • Pronounced “Scuzzy” • Been around since ’70s • Devices can be internal or external • Historically the choice for RAID – Faster than PATA – Could have more than four drives • SATA replacing SCSI in many applications
  • 60. SCSI Chains • A SCSI chain is a series of SCSI devices working together through a host adapter • The host adapter is a device that attaches the SCSI chain to the PC • All SCSI devices are divided into internal and external groups • The maximum number of devices, including the host adapter, is 16
  • 61. Internal Devices • Internal SCSI devices are installed inside the PC and connect to the host adapter through the internal connector • Internal devices use a 68-pin ribbon cable • Cables can be connected to multiple devices
  • 62. External Devices • External SCSI devices are connected to host adapter to external connection of host adapter • External devices have two connections in the back, to allow for daisy-chaining • A standard SCSI chain can connect 15 devices, including the host adapter
  • 63. SCSI IDs • Each SCSI device must have a unique SCSI ID • The values of ID numbers range from 0 to 15 • No two devices connected to a single host adapter can share the same ID number • No order for the use of SCSI IDs, and any SCSI device can have any SCSI ID
  • 64. SCSI IDs • The SCSI ID for a particular device can be set by configuring jumpers, switches, or even dials • Use your hexadecimal knowledge to set the device ID – Device 1 = 0 0 0 1 Off, Off, Off, On – Device 7 = 0 1 1 1 Off, On, On, On – Device 15 = 1 1 1 1 On, On, On, On
  • 65. Termination • Terminators are used to prevent a signal reflection that can corrupt the signal • Pull-down resistors are usually used as terminators • Only the ends of the SCSI chains need to be terminated • Most manufacturers build SCSI devices that self-terminate
  • 66. Protecting Data with RAID
  • 67. Protecting Data • The most important part of a PC is the data it holds – Companies have gone out of business because of losing data on hard drives • Hard drives will eventually develop faults • Fault tolerance allows systems to operate even when a component fails – Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) is one such technology
  • 68. RAID Level 0 • Disk striping – Writes data across multiple drives at once – Requires at least two hard drives – Provides increased read and writes • Not fault tolerant – If any drive fails, the data is lost
  • 69. RAID Level 1 • Disk mirroring/duplexing is the process of writing the same data to two drives at the same time – Requires two drives – Produces an exact mirror of the primary drive – Mirroring uses the same controller – Duplexing uses separate controllers
  • 70. RAID Levels 2 to 4 • RAID 2 – Disk striping with multiple parity drives – Not used • RAID 3 and 4 – Disk striping with dedicated parity – Dedicated data drives and dedicated parity drives – Quickly replaced by RAID 5
  • 71. RAID Level 5 • Disk striping with distributed parity – Distributes data and parity evenly across the drives – Requires at least three drives – Most common RAID implementation Software- based RAID 5
  • 72. RAID 5 (Stripe with Parity) Decimal 22 21 20 Decimal 21 20 Odd 4 2 1 Parity 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 3 0 1 1 2 1 0 0 4 1 0 0 3 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 Data Data Parity
  • 73. RAID Level 6 • Super disk striping with distributed parity – RAID 5 with asynchronous and cached data capability
  • 74. Implementing RAID • SCSI has been the primary choice in the past – Faster than PATA – PATA allowed only four drives • SATA today viewed as comparable choice – Speeds comparable to SCSI – Dedicated SATA controllers can support up to 15 drives
  • 75. Hardware vs. Software • Hardware RAID – Dedicated controller – Operating system views it as single volume • Software RAID – Operating system recognizes all individual disks – Combines them together as single volume
  • 76. Personal RAID • ATA RAID controller chips have gone down in price • Some motherboards are now shipping with RAID built-in • The future is RAID – RAID has been around for 20 years but is now less expensive and moving into desktop systems

Editor's Notes

  • #64: Make sure you can look at any SCSI device and understand how to set its SCSI ID!
  • #66: Discussion Point Termination All electronic signals can reflect back (or echo) along the wire. On some systems, such as SCSI and coaxial networks, this can cause chaos, as devices do not know what signal to listen to. A terminator is basically a resistor that absorbs the signal to prevent it from reflecting back. All SCSI chains, without exception, have to be terminated at both ends of the chain, but never in the middle.
  • #74: The CompTIA A+ Certification exams are interested only in your understanding RAID levels 0, 1, and 5. I’m unaware of anyone actually using RAID levels 2, 3, or 4 in modern systems. Just be aware that these other levels of RAID exist.
