Introduction to Computers Section 5B

home Two Ways to Measure Storage Device Performance Average Access Time Data Transfer Rate

home Average Access Time How long it takes the device to move its read or read/write heads to any spot on the medium

home Access Time Measured in Two Ways Storage devices: milliseconds (ms) Memory devices: nanoseconds (ns)

home Disk Drive Access Time Depends On: How fast the disk spins How long it takes to move the heads from one track to another

home Examples of Average Access Time Floppy Disk: 100 ms Hard disk: 6 to 12 ms High-performance hard disk: 4 or 5 ms CD-ROM: 80 to 800 ms Tape drives: slowest at a few seconds to a few minutes

home Where to Find Average Access Time Device’s packaging or documentation Manufacturer’s Web site Computer-related magazines

home File or Data Compression Technology for making files smaller to free up storage space

home File Compression Software PKZIP and WinZip: Windows-based PC’s StuffIT: Macintosh

home Hard Disk Compression Software DriveSpace

home Data Transfer Rate How long it takes for one device to transfer data to another device Measured in units of data per second (MBps means megabytes per second, for example)

home Examples of Data Transfer Rates Hard disk: 15 MBps to more than 80 MBps CD-ROM: 300 KBps to more than 900KBps Floppy disk: 45 KBps Removable hard disk: range from 1.25 MBps to hard disk rates

home Optimizing Disk Performance When the pc’s performance slows down, disk maintenance, or disk optimization, can speed things up again

home Ways to Optimize Disk Performance Delete temporary files Uninstall little-used software programs Run a disk scanner to look for and fix errors Defragment the disk

home Disk Controller Connects the disk drive to the computer’s bus, enabling the drive to exchange data with other devices

home Two Disk Controller Standards Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics (EIDE) Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)

Section 5B Measuring and Improving Drive Performance

home Review Questions Name the sources that tell you average access time for your storage devices. How is the data transfer rate measured? Name four ways to optimize disk performance. What are the two disk controller standards?
