2. Disk sector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_sector

   For most disks, each sector stores a fixed amount of user-accessible data, traditionally 512 bytes for hard disk drives (HDDs), and 2048 bytes for CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs and BD-ROMs. [1] Newer HDDs and SSDs use 4096 byte (4 KiB) sectors, which are known as the Advanced Format (AF). The sector is the minimum storage unit of a hard drive. [2]

3. Seagate Barracuda - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagate_Barracuda

   In 1993, Seagate released the first Barracuda drive, with the ST11950. The drive had a capacity of 2.03 GB (1.69 GB formatted), was available with FAST SCSI-2 (N/ND models) or WIDE SCSI-2 (W/WD models) interface, and was the first hard drive ever to have a spindle speed of 7200-RPM. Owing to the rotational speed, it was very fast but very ...

4. Solid-state drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

   A solid-state drive (SSD) is a type of solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuits to store data persistently. It is sometimes called semiconductor storage device, solid-state device, or solid-state disk. [1] [2] SSDs rely on non-volatile memory, typically NAND flash, to store data in memory cells. The performance and endurance of ...

5. Hard disk drive - Wikipedia

   In 2018, the largest hard drive had a capacity of 15 TB, while the largest capacity SSD had a capacity of 100 TB. [38] As of 2018 [update] , HDDs were forecast to reach 100 TB capacities around 2025, [ 39 ] but as of 2019 [update] , the expected pace of improvement was pared back to 50 TB by 2026. [ 40 ]

6. List of disk drive form factors - Wikipedia

   Drives may slot into a drive bay of the corresponding size. Compared to flash drives in same form factor, maximum rotating disk drive capacity is much smaller, [citation needed] with 100 TB available in 2018, [1] and 32 TB for 2.5-inch. [2] The disk drive size, such as 3.5-inch, is usually refers to the diameter of the disk platters.

7. Density (computer storage) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_(computer_storage)

   In 1956 the first hard drive, the IBM 350, had an areal density of 2,000 bit/in 2. Since then, the increase in density has matched Moore's Law, reaching 1 Tbit/in 2 in 2014. [2] In 2015, Seagate introduced a hard drive with a density of 1.34 Tbit/in 2, [3] more than 600 million times that of the IBM 350.
