3 Day Course: $1,595.00 This course provides an in-depth look into the technology of disk drives and how they are designed, manufactured, and used. Much more than an overview, the course teaches the issues and tradeoffs involved in increasing the capacity and performance, while lowering the cost, of today’s rapidly evolving drives. The course discusses the latest state-of-the-art disk drive engineering techniques - including the recording process, perpendicular recording, heads and media, read/write channels, servo systems, and back-end test process including the types of tests run, the purpose of those tests and how those tests are structured. In addition, we will discuss new technologies that are either implemented or will be implemented in the near future with emphasis on how these technologies enable advances in performance and/or recording densities. The course material is drawn from textbooks, industry specifications, and extensive practical experience, and provides valuable details and information unavailable elsewhere. If you need a better understanding of the technology behind this exciting industry, this course is the place to get it. In this class we will look at the performance of flash memory, compare it to hard drives and see how it is being utilized in hard drives (hybrid drive). Flash performance (SSDs) will be compared with hard drive performance and the issues that affect that performance discussed. We will cover the structure of flash memory and how basic functions like read, write and erase are performed and how data moves in and out of the flash memory. We will also cover the physical characteristics of this type of memory and how improvement in terms of capacity/cost as well as performance and reliability will be achieved in the future. In summary, hybrid drives offer the potential for significant improvement in system performance. The amount of improvement achieved is dependent on how well the operating system takes advantage of these capabilities and the type of data that is being processed. We will explore those issues as well as issues that impact reliability.
