7 age had significantly undercut film and paper costs by the late 1990s. It is obvious that this is a principal advantage Price to the growth Fall and popularity of of on-line (i.e., nonarchival) magnetic storage. RAM and Disk Concurrently, there has been an accompanying increase in the quantity of DRAM found in most storage subsystems. Storage When first introduced in the mid- 1980s, a system cache of 8 megabytes was considered large. Today, a system cache of 8 gigabytes is considered relatively small. The corresponding decrease in price-per-storage capacity of DRAM, although prices started at a higher level than magnetic hard disk drives, has enabled larger caches while still maintaining a price reduction per capacity at the system level, as Figure 6 indicates.

The availability of sm form-factor drives has been directly responsibl the development and use of system architec such as RAID, which have advanced storage to levels of low cost, capacity, performance, and ability. In addition to the increases in relia brought about by these enhanced drive technolo the adoption of RAID architectures has resulte even higher levels of improvement in system a ability. RAID architectures enable the effective coupling of hardware reliability from system a ability. 8-INCH FORM FACTOR 65 MB 10.8-INCH FORM FACTOR 5.7 GB The miniaturization trend in disk drives, sim neous with the trend of increasing drive capaci the direct result of the vast technology improvem that have increased areal density over seven or of magnitude since These improvements principally been: the introduction of magnetor tive (MR) and giant magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, finer-line-width inductive write head ments, high-signal-amplitude thin film disk ma als, lower flying heights, and partial-responseimum-likelihood (PRML) data channels. These many more innovations demonstrate the contin trend toward further enhancements. 5 Technological impact of magnetic hard disk drives on storage systems, Grochowski, R. D.

Note that at a little over 100 megabytes/s internal clock operation within a data channel circuit is approaching 1 GHz as fast as today s microprocessors and also approaching the limit for silicon circuits. Increase of Speed Technological impact of magnetic hard disk drives on storage systems, Grochowski, R. D. Halem IBM SYSTEMS JOURNAL, VOL 42, NO 2, 2003 Figure 11 shows the decrease in average seek and accessing times for server-platform disk drives over the past 30 years. Access time is defined as seek time plus latency time, which is inversely proportional to rotation rate. Seek time depends on data band, the difference between outer-disk recording radius and inner-disk recording radius (the region where data are actually recorded). The use of smaller-diameter drives causes a marked change in slope near 1991, similar to trends shown in Figure The smaller drives are faster, store more information, and consume less power per capacity. Rotation rate continues to be a key parameter in disk drive and system performance, a fact that sometimes is not apparent. Regardless of the inclusion of large DRAM caches, when the server system requests a read of data not contained within the cache, latency becomes the key delaying element. It is the application of small-formfactor drives that has allowed rotation rates to go beyond RPM and to continually improve sys- tem performance while maintaining reasonable power requirements. Figure 10 MAXIMUM INTERNAL DATA RATE, MBYTES/SECONDS Hard disk drive maximum internal data rate for enterprise/server drives 40% CGR <10% CGR DATA RATE = LINEAR x RPM x DISK DENSITY DIAMETER AVAILABILITY YEAR What impact does drive design have on system performance? Initially, system performance was essentially drive performance. After the introduction of electronic caches, system performance was related to system 13 channel speed, and cache effectiveness became the critical issue. This is shown by

Nearly concurrent with this trend, a disk drive buffer was also included, which enhanced the performance of this component significantly. Figure 12 shows Rechnernetze relative performance of both drivesalbert-ludwigs-universität and systems over Freiburg und Telematik time, and the effect of caching and buffering is clearly visible. The basis for the chart is the storing of 4K records. Although system (and drive) performance would be expected to increase as a result of component technology advances and drive miniaturization, enhancements in electronics have been a sig-
