Transportation of HDD
1 inch disk drive!
• 2000 IBM MicroDrive:– 1.7” x 1.4” x 0.2” – 1 GB, 3600 RPM,
5 MB/s, 15 ms seek– Digital camera, PalmPC?
• 2006 MicroDrive– 8 GB, 50 MB/s!
The internal look of HDD (now)
Data access of HDD
Access Time = Seek Time + Rotational Delay + Transfer Time
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID): 1987-1993
• Randy Katz and David Patterson: “Use many PC disks to build better storage?”
• RAID I built on 1st SPARC, 28 disks• RAID II custom HW, 144 disks• Today, RAID ~$25B industry• RAID students join industry and academia,
started own companies (VMware, Panassas)
The RAID paper D. A. Patterson, G. Gibson, and R. H. Katz, "A case for redundant
arrays of inexpensive disks (RAID)," in SIGMOD'88 Proceedings of the 1988 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data, 1988, vol. 17, no. 3, pp. 109-116.
One of the important publications in computer science. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_important_publications_in_computer_science
EMC, HP, IBM, NetApp… have produced so many RAID-related storage products.
Better Storage?• Capacity?• Performance?• Availability?• ……
RAID introduction• A RAID is a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.– In industry, “I” is for “Independent”– The alternative is SLED, single large expensive disk
• Disks are small and cheap, so it’s easy to put lots of disks (10s to 100s) in one box for increased storage, performance, and availability.
• The RAID box with a RAID controller looks just like a SLED to the computer. Data plus some redundant information is Striped across the disks in some way.
• How that Striping is done is key to performance and reliability----Different RAID levels 0-5, 6…
RAID0• Level 0 is non-redundant disk array• Files are Striped across disks, no redundant info• High read throughput• Best write throughput (no redundant info to write)• Any disk failure results in data loss• Reliability worse than SLED

data disks
RAID1• Mirrored Disks, data is written to two places • On failure, just use surviving disk• On read, choose fastest to read• Write performance is same as single drive, read
performance is 2x better• Expensive

RAID4• Block-level parity with Stripes• A read accesses all the data disks• A write accesses all data disks plus the parity disk• Heavy load on the parity disk

RAID5• Block Interleaved Distributed Parity• Like parity scheme, but distribute the parity info over all
disks (as well as data over all disks)• Better read performance, large write performance
