100 times HDD speed possible thanks to lasers

LBL_TAG_TAGS: laser science hard drive hdd [LBL_TAG_EDIT]
Filed under: Desktops
The concept of light powered computing has surfaced again, this time thanks to a group of researchers at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Using laser technology that we're not even going to pretend to understand, they've figured out a way of transferring data in speeds measured in quadrillionths of a second -- a measurement so fast even our spell checker doesn't recognize it. The technology is around 100 times faster than traditional magnetic storage methods, but it still has some way to go until it can replace your hard drive: for one thing, the researchers need to figure out a way to reduce the footprint of the laser, currently at an apparently massive 5 microns width. As always, we shall wait in anticipation for any developments.

Massive Google hard drive survey turns up very interesting things
Posted: February 18th, 2007, 9:47pm MST by Ryan Block
LBL_TAG_TAGS: google hard drive [LBL_TAG_EDIT]
Filed under: Peripherals
When your server farm is in the hundreds of thousands and you're using cheap, off-the-shelf hard drives as your primary means of storage, you've probably got a a pretty damned good data set for looking at the health and failure patterns of hard drives. Google studied a hundred thousand SATA and PATA drives with between 80 and 400GB storage and 5400 to 7200rpm, and while unfortunately they didn't call out specific brands or models that had high failure rates, they did find a few interesting patterns in failing hard drives. One of those we thought was most intriguing was that drives often needed replacement for issues that SMART drive status polling didn't or couldn't determine, and 56% of failed drives did not raise any significant SMART flags (and that's interesting, of course, because SMART exists solely to survey hard drive health); other notable patterns showed that failure rates are indeed definitely correlated to drive manufacturer, model, and age; failure rates did not correspond to drive usage except in very young and old drives (i.e. heavy data "grinding" is not a significant factor in failure); and there is less correlation between drive temperature and failure rates than might have been expected, and drives that are cooled excessively actually fail more often than those running a little hot. Normally we'd recommend you go on ahead and read the document, but be ready for a seriously academic and scientific analysis. [Warning: PDF link]

Impenetrable Iron Drive withstands "nuclear stresses"
Posted: February 18th, 2007, 8:30am MST by Darren Murph
LBL_TAG_TAGS: iron flash drive [LBL_TAG_EDIT]
Filed under: Storage
Just in case having a bulletproof flash drive isn't secure enough for you, it looks like the Iron Drive just might tout the ballistics protection your data insists on having. Produced by R&D Electronics, the Iron Drive has reportedly been tested with withstand "high temperature, shock, vibration, caustic agents, submersion, EMI, and nuclear stresses," and even looks like an oversized vehicle cigarette lighter as to hopefully divert any data thieves who glance at it. The unit is purportedly designed for "harsh military and commercial (read: hostile office) environments," measures four-inches in length, comes in 32MB to 4GB sizes, touts USB 2.0 connectivity, and features just about every military-grade protection you can imagine. As expected, there's no pricing information readily available, but if you get nuked anytime soon, what's your money (or data, for that matter) worth anyway?

A line of hard drives from Samsung and Hitachi proves you don't have to spend a lot to get a lot. For an almost amazingly low price, Hitachi offers 160 GB and caters to upgrade users while Samsung throws in a 400 GB behemoth.
