Secondary Storage • Nonvolatile storage that is external to the main memory • Used for: • Storage of large amounts of data • Permanent or long-term storage • Backups • Hardware is input/output (I/O) device
Three Secondary Storage Media • Magnetic tape • Magnetic disks • Optical technology
Three Main Characteristics • How much storage do you need? • Totals bytes • Density • How fast do you need it? • Data access time -- milliseconds • Data transfer rate -- megabytes per minute • How much will it cost? • Fixed cost • Cost per megabyte
Local On-line Near-on-line Backup Archival Distribution Hard Disk Server-based magnetic & optical drives Optical jukeboxes & tape changers Tape drives & changers Tape drives & optical disk Floppy disks, recordable CR-ROMS, & magnetic tape Type of Storage Device
Evaluation Criteria • Throughput (speed) -- transfer rate • Access time (delay) • Capacity • Drive cost • Media cost • Archival life
On-line Near-on-line Backup Archival Distribution High throughput, fast access time & high capacity Very high capacity, low media cost, & long archival life High capacity & low drive cost Low media cost & long archival life High capacity & low media cost Type of Storage Criteria
Magnetic Tape • 1/4”, 1/2”, 4mm, 8mm, or VHS • Tape drive (I/O) • Sequential Storage • Inexpensive -- backup storage
Reel-to-reel Tape • 21MB - 170MB • Old technology -- slower access
Cassette Tape • QIC -- Quarter inch cartridge (1/4”) • 2.5GB to 4GB • DAT -- Digital audio tape (4mm) • 20GB • DDS-3 -- Digital data storage (4mm) • 12GB/24GB
Cartridge Tape • DTF -- Digital tape format (1/2”) • 42GB • DLT -- Digital linear tape (1/2”) • 35GB/70GB • AIT -- Advanced Intelligent (8mm) • 25GB • VHS -- Video tape • SD1 -- 19mm • 100GB
Magnetic Disk • Direct access • Ability to hold more data in a smaller space • Faster data access speeds
Floppy Disk • 8’, 5 1/4”, & 3 1/2” • I/O device -- floppy disk drive
