    The latter will increase the data transfer rate for a given RPM speed. Improvement of data transfer rate performance is correlated to the areal density only by increasing a track's linear surface bit density (sectors per track). Simply increasing the number of tracks on a disk can affect seek times but not gross transfer rates.

  3. Microsoft Drive Optimizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Drive_Optimizer

    Microsoft Drive Optimizer (formerly Disk Defragmenter) is a utility in Microsoft Windows designed to increase data access speed by rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations, a technique called defragmentation. Microsoft Drive Optimizer was first officially shipped with Windows XP.

  4. ReadyBoost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost

    The core idea of ReadyBoost is that a flash memory (e.g. a USB flash drive or an SSD) has a much faster seek time than a typical magnetic hard disk (less than 1 ms), allowing it to satisfy requests faster than reading files from the hard disk. It also leverages the inherent advantage of two parallel sources from which to read data, whereas ...

    [2] [3] RAID 0 is normally used to increase performance, although it can also be used as a way to create a large logical volume out of two or more physical disks. [4] A RAID 0 setup can be created with disks of differing sizes, but the storage space added to the array by each disk is limited to the size of the smallest disk.

  6. Zone bit recording - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_bit_recording

    This permits the drive to have more bits stored in the outside tracks compared to the inner ones. Storing more bits per track equates to achieving a higher total data capacity on the same disk area. [2] However, ZBR influences other performance characteristics of the hard disk. In the outermost tracks, data will have the highest data transfer ...

  7. Shingled magnetic recording - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingled_magnetic_recording

    Seagate started shipping device-managed SMR hard drives in September 2013, stating an increase in overall capacity of about 25% compared to non-shingled storage. [1] [11] In September 2014, HGST announced a 10 TB drive filled with helium that uses host-managed shingled magnetic recording, [12] although in December 2015 it followed this with a 10 TB helium-filled drive that uses conventional ...
