This is extremely well written, produced, and animated. As someone who works in the HDD industry, I can vouch for the validity of this information. Something I think is interesting but was not mentioned is multi-actuator drives. For instance, with a 2-actuator design, this would allow for read/write speeds of up to (about) 2x as fast read/write speeds at maximum than previously possible. This is because there can be multiple streams of data read at the same time. Think of tape-based storage medium. This commonly has many read/write heads which is trivial since the storage medium is what needs to be moved rather than the r/w heads. This is a more complex endeavor in HDDs since the head needs to be able to seek accurately and quickly which becomes quite difficult given the limited space within the enclosure. The drive essentially needs two (or more) of the heads in the space which used to be occupied by only one and also another controller for the other actuator.

@@flintfrommother3gaming I believe Seagate did release information on their "MACH.2" enterprise drives a little while ago which are dual-actuator. Particularly the "Seagate Exos 2X14" was the first drive to implement a dual actuator design I believe with there being a newer "Exos 2X18" generation of this. If I had to guess, this technology will likely become more popular in enterprise-level drives within the next few years. At some point, if it becomes cheap enough or if there is enough demand, I presume it will also make its way into consumer-grade drives as well, however those (consumer-grade drives) are certainly at a lower priority for newer and more expensive technologies.
@DK-ox7ze
@DK-ox7ze 2 жыл бұрын
2X speeds are possible only if the two data regions are significantly away to prevent actuator collisions. So 2X performance will be possible only in some cases, or in cases where similar data is well distributed across the disk.
@user-wf7uf2jp8x
@user-wf7uf2jp8x 2 жыл бұрын
@user-lz9xe7mf2b That depends on the implementation. The dual actuator design I'm referring to is one where the actuators are on top of eachother such that the above actuator is responsible for the top half of the platters and the other actuator is responsible for the bottom half. In this implementation there wouldn't be a chance for collision. There are some good pictures for reference of the current seagate technology out there which depict what I'm talking about. Even so, these mostly help with parallel ops depending on the implementation and the speed increase is indeed not always fully realized depending on the scenario, yeah.

@@user-wf7uf2jp8x and now just imagine having those actuators on both sides of the disk, yes the drive will be much longer and probably not meet a ISO standards but the RW speeds could be potentially comparable against sata SSDs. And the increased speed of the disk will also help a lot. 10k RPM Two double actuators 1024MB cache Read speeds up to 750MBps Write speeds up to 700 as well And the price for the 20TB HDD should be somewhere between 900-1100€ or 1200 dollars when you take how much SSD cost. 8TB SSD in Slovakia 700€

When I was a very young kid, about 2 or 3 years old, my father took me to a data center in 1985. The hard drives were as big as large fridges and he would climb inside of them from the top to repair electronic components of them by hand. The warehouse was huge and full of these old style drives. Now I imagine that entire warehouse of drives probably stores a fraction of the data of my 12TB HDD on my desktop. Instead of using disks, they used cylinders which is why you can go inside of it. I remember no one was allowed to see them but since I was so young they thought it wouldn't matter.

One thing is to "know" how it works. Seeing it in detail is something completely different.

Such an incredibly good explanation of how HD’s work, still, it’s completely insane to think of the billions of pieces of data captured millions of times with such pinpoint accuracy on a disk spinning at 7200 RPM, huh, mind boggling!

1:35 The platter speed depends on the drive, some spin at 5400 RPM, while some 7200 RPM. There are even faster drives like 10000 - 15000 RPM, however, those are no longer being sold for consumers.

That is a perfectly sensible thing to do. SSDs are expensive, so you should go with a smaller 1TB one

When my older brother got his first job in the '70s with IBM, he explained the workings of an early disk (platter) disk drive. I was about 12. I immediately recognized and said, "Nah, that's never going to work. Boy, was I wrong!

This is a mechanical device that has a part suspended _15 nanometers_ above the surface of a rapidly spinning disk by a motorized arm. And they must never, ever touch. If it didn't already exist and work perfectly, I'd think it was impossible too! Your first reaction was not at all unreasonable. But it was, thankfully, incorrect.

I've been involved with PC's since the late 1970's. I have taken apart many crashed harddrives. This is the first time I've understood what all the gizmos in the drive were truly for. Other than the discs for wind chimes and the powerful magnets for refrigerator magnets.
