Cruise Harddisk!!!



Imagine, if there was no hard disk on your PC. Where you will store data, a collection of MP3 songs, video editing, and so on? How is your hard drive works?

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is one of the storage devices on the PC system. Included in one of the permanent category, although in it there are also many parts of virtual memory, which is used by the operating system.

If there is no hard drive, chances are we still going to rely on floppy disks. Good for storing data, as well as launch applications, or even the operating system. So not surprisingly, if the hard disk included in one of the most important components for the PC in today's.
 

Long before the form of current hard disk, hard disk the first time in the 1950s. New start is known by the wider community in 1956. International Business Machines (IBM) is that mass produce it, while still called RAMAC (Random Access Method of Accounting and Control), consists of 50 pieces of 24 inch diameter plate, and the dimensions of the protector is approximately the size of a large refrigerator

Moore's Law also applies to the storage media, but to drive a bit slightly different. The trend of development over 50 years hard drive, hard drive capacity will grow 130% for 18 months. Even for a certain period, disk capacity increased 100% in just 9 months.

In addition to increasing capacity, practically only a slight increase in disk technology. Mostly deals with the increased speed, with improved inte
rfaces used.
