Key Technological Firsts
1 v' O+ F6 D4 }; l8 ]) F" Q
, P- s* ~" J  ^9 z1 b: R0 e# }There have been a number of important "firsts" in the world of hard disks over their first 40 or so years. The following is a list, in chronological order, of some of the products developed during the past half-century that introduced key or important technologies in the PC world. Note the dominance of IBM in the list; in this author's opinion Big Blue does not get nearly as much credit as it deserves for being the main innovator in the storage world. Note also how many years it took for many of these technologies to make it to the PC world (sometimes as much as a decade, due to the initial high cost of most new technologies). I

First Hard Disk (1956): IBM's RAMAC is introduced. It has a capacity of about 5 MB, stored on 50 24" disks. Its areal density is a mere 2,000 bits per square inch and its data throughput 8,800 bits/s.
First Air Bearing Heads (1962): IBM's model 1301 lowers the flying height of the heads to 250 microinches. It has a 28 MB capacity on half as many heads as the original RAMAC, and increases both areal density and throughput by about 1000%.
First Removable Disk Drive (1965): IBM's model 2310 is the first disk drive with a removable disk pack. While many PC users think of removable hard disks as being a modern invention, in fact they were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
/ G' J4 v$ |. |* z4 p- eFirst Ferrite Heads (1966): IBM's model 2314 is the first hard disk to use ferrite core heads, the first type later used on PC hard disks.
First Modern Hard Disk Design (1973): IBM's model 3340, nicknamed the "Winchester", is introduced. With a capacity of 60 MB it introduces several key technologies that lead to it being considered by many the ancestor of the modern disk drive.
4 @" J5 y, Z! k3 s" Y4 |1 XFirst Thin Film Heads (1979): IBM's model 3370 is the first with thin film heads, which would for many years be the standard in the PC industry.
! g* ~( B$ u& fFirst Eight-Inch Form Factor Disk (1979): IBM's model 3310 is the first disk drive with 8" platters, greatly reduced in size from the 14" that had been the standard for over a decade.
6 V' J/ J6 Y9 P8 s& z- U! gFirst 5.25" Form Factor Disk (1980): Seagate's ST-506 is the first drive in the 5.25" form factor, used in the earliest PCs.

/ L8 X* @  T! vFirst Expansion Card Disk Drive (1985): Quantum introduces the Hardcard, a 10.5 MB hard disk mounted on an ISA expansion card for PCs that were originally built without a hard disk. This product put Quantum "on the map" so to speak.

First "Low-Profile" 3.5" Disk Drive (1988): Conner Peripherals introduces the CP3022, which was the first 3.5" drive to use the reduced 1" height now called "low profile" and the standard for modern 3.5" drives.
2 i; k5 r1 C* D- T# h# c- k! CFirst 2.5" Form Factor Disk Drive (1988): PrairieTek introduces a drive using 2.5" platters. This size would later become a standard for portable computing.
First Drive to use Magnetoresistive Heads and PRML Data Decoding (1990): IBM's model 681 (Redwing), an 857 MB drive, is the first to use MR heads and PRML.
First Thin Film Disks (1991): IBM's "Pacifica" mainframe drive is the first to replace oxide media with thin film media on the platter surface.
First 1.8" Form Factor Disk Drive (1991): Integral Peripherals' 1820 is the first hard disk with 1.8" platters, later used for PC-Card disk drives.
First 1.3" Form Factor Disk Drive (1992): Hewlett Packard's C3013A is the first 1.3" drive.

Hard Disk Trends

* t2 u# w9 @' {' o7 ]8 c$ T- wThe most amazing thing about hard disks is that they both change and don't change more than most other components. In terms of their basic design, today's hard disks aren't a lot different than the 10 MB clunkers installed in the first IBM PC/XTs in the early 1980s. However, in terms of their capacity, storage, reliability and other characteristics, hard drives have probably improved more than any other PC component. Let's take a look at some of the trends in various important hard disk characteristics:

Areal Density: The areal density of hard disk platters continues to increase at an amazing rate even exceeding some of the optimistic predictions of a few years ago. Densities in the lab are now exceeding 35 Gbits/in2, and modern disks are now packing as much as 20 GB of data onto a single 3.5" platter!

8 _9 l- {+ {! F1 \9 _% hCapacity: Hard disk capacity continues to not only increase, but increase at an accelerating rate. From 10 MB in 1981, we are now well over 10 GB in 2000 and will probably hit 100 GB within a year for consumer drives.

Spindle Speed: The move to faster and faster spindle speeds continues. Since increasing the spindle speed improves both random-access and sequential performance, this is likely to continue. Once the domain of high-end SCSI drives, 7200 RPM spindles are now standard on mainstream IDE/ATA drives. A 15,000 RPM SCSI drive was announced by Seagate in early 2000.
9 h/ h/ y2 d; F6 L" c5 O7 `
Form Factor: The trend in form factors is downward: to smaller and smaller drives. 5.25" drives have now all but disappeared from the mainstream PC market, with 3.5" drives dominating the desktop and server segment. In the mobile world, 2.5" drives are the standard with smaller sizes becoming more prevalent; IBM in 1999 announced its Microdrive which is a tiny 170 MB or 340 MB device only an inch in diameter and less than 0.25" thick! Over the next few years, desktop and server drives are likely to transition to the 2.5" form factor as well. The primary reasons for this "shrinking trend" include the enhanced rigidity of smaller platters, reduction of mass to enable faster spin speeds, and improved reliability due to enhanced ease of manufacturing.

Performance: Both positioning and transfer performance factors are improving. The speed with which data can be pulled from the disk is increasing more rapidly than positioning performance is improving, suggesting that over the next few years addressing seek time and latency will be the areas of greatest value to hard disk engineers.
Reliability: The reliability of hard disks is improving slowly as manufacturers refine their processes and add new reliability-enhancing features, but this characteristic is not changing nearly as rapidly as the others above. One reason is that the technology is constantly changing, and the performance envelope constantly being pushed; it's much harder to improve the reliability of a product when it is changing rapidly.
% p0 {8 P/ D" s9 j( @! [7 A1 S: C( T
RAID: Once the province of only high-end servers, the use of multiple disk arrays to improve performance and reliability is becoming increasingly common, and is now even seen in consumer desktop machines. Over the next few years I predict that RAID will become the "next big thing" as the thirst for performance increases, and in five years we may see new PCs commonly shipping with multiple hard disks configured as an array.
+ h' c5 m/ N1 L' h4 kInterfaces: Despite the introduction to the PC world of new interfaces such as IEEE-1394 and USB (universal serial bus) the mainstream interfaces in the PC world are the same as they were through the 1990s: IDE/ATA and SCSI. The interfaces themselves continue to create new and improved standards with higher maximum transfer rates, to match the increase in performance of the hard disks themselves.

9 v; `, I2 K5 u2 @) i
我想這樣描述更合適, "從外觀形式來說,硬盤似乎是一個簡單的機械產(chǎn)品.".
1 ~; Q+ a4 @; ^/ V' p----個人認為機械硬盤是20世紀工程界一個偉大的發(fā)明, 高度集成的機電產(chǎn)品.融合了磁記錄,wafer制造和切割(磁頭),精密機械設(shè)計(包括大量振動問題,液體動壓軸承,電磁分析),精密servo控制,pcb設(shè)計, firmwave.

舉個例子, 機械部分壓緊碟片的零件(clamp)設(shè)計,要求其能壓緊碟片,保證硬盤在承受水平方向1000G左右的沖擊時碟片不發(fā)生移動,或豎直方向1000G沖擊(跌落)時碟片不能碰到其他零件,這樣就要求clamp安裝壓緊后的緊固力足夠大.
但是, 我們希望碟片被clamp壓緊后變形(flatness)盡可能小,一般在幾個微米左右.這樣就要求clamp緊固后壓緊力也不能太大, 否則導(dǎo)致硬盤工作時磁頭工況惡劣,甚至不能正常工作.
4 [& O3 w, T0 s1 v! q綜上所敘,clamping force是在一定范圍內(nèi)的,至于nominal value,tolerance,需要計算,仿真,考慮加工工藝和關(guān)鍵尺寸CPK情況.

機械磁盤在最近十幾年的發(fā)展，可以說是突飛猛進。但就是這樣的發(fā)展，磁盤也沒有把磁帶機掃入歷史的垃圾堆里，直到現(xiàn)在，磁帶機依舊在不少地方發(fā)揮作用。所以個人覺得，即使將來固態(tài)盤發(fā)展到高水平，也難以全部替代機械盤的位置。
  {8 I6 g6 m) u# Y0 r5 h目前固態(tài)盤相比機械盤的缺點，除了價格，單位存儲體積方面，還有就是單位存儲功耗。一塊64G的固態(tài)盤，功耗約為2W，也即是0.031W / G，而一塊750G的SATA盤，最大功耗也就13W，也即0.0173W / G。
